Places like this make me not want to use Airbnb.
Issues started as soon as we opened the door - which sticks, badly. You have to push hard to open and even harder to close it.
I almost fell walking in - it was bright outside, dark inside and there’s a huge step down - no warning - into the place. It’s like 1.5 feet step down.
Then we got hit with the ‘wall of stink’. It was some chemical air freshener that smelled like a gross public bathroom. We were only there for 3 hours - we left it was so bad - in that time I almost got a headache from the smell.
It’s not safe/secure. There is a door towards the back that wasn’t locked. We had no idea where the door lead to. Asked sent a message to the owner asking, she said it lead to a common kitchen area.
But it’s only a little lock that could be easily picked. Really shocking and disappointing. We couldn’t have even blocked the door if we were staying cuz it opens out, not in.
*Nothing about a door with a joke of a lock mentioned in the description*
The stairs up to the HOT bathroom/shower are narrow. If you have to pee at night, not great to have to go upstairs. Even though the air conditioner was on, it was VERY hot up there.
The bathroom itself is not nice, certainly not as pictured. *Pictures are inaccurate, out of date, and misleading.”
It was WAY WAY WAY overpriced.
There was a hair (not ours) on the pillow.
The air conditioner unit is REALLY loud.
Only window is the door, so it’s dark and dank feeling.
There was a huge cobweb over the bed.
The Wi-Fi was spotty, not a strong connection, couldn’t load.
Walls are thin, dog locked up apparently and barked for 3 solid hours
VERY tight street parking on both sides of the street.
At first I felt bad leaving such negative review, I realize this is their business, however she was rude to me because I didn’t respond to her messages asking if we’d left yet *because I was driving at 9:30 p.m.., after already driving 9 hours that dad, trying to find a hotel.* So I don’t feel bad at all now. Everything I wrote is accurate, no exaggeration.
She also said I wasn’t being honest when I told her the only hotel we could find the night was $300. Unfortunately that is all too true. Not to mention the $45 I lost through Airbnb canceling.
Horrible experience. Not sure I will use airbnb again because of this awful experience.
