This is by far the worst AirBnB experience I’ve had and I have been a member of AirBnB since 2015.
To summarize, please note while staying with Anita I was verbally insulted, aggressively approached, living in hazardous conditions, AND haggled for additional cash after the amount was paid. Read more for complete details.
This property was not properly advertised considering it says that it includes a self-check in process with a keypad. This is not true. I had to keep track of a set of house keys while on my vacation.
Also the host was too involved for my liking. Because there wasn’t a self check-in process, we were constantly contacted on our arrival date about where we were and exactly what time we would be there because she was waiting for us. We couldn’t stop and grab dinner or gas upon arriving because we were “holding her up” from continuing her day. Upon checking in, she questioned my age (I’m 25), insinuating that I may be partying and destroy her home. I found that incredibly insulting as I have two college degrees and common sense. Throughout our stay we received several calls and texts with reminders/ request to “not forget to look the screen door” “to send over the iron” etc.
I could’ve overlooked the fact that the place was not cleaned to my satisfaction (there was leftover moldy food in the fridge, no central air, packing tape holding the outlet in place, etc) but in combination with the constant imposition of our host, it made for a less than desirable stay.
All of this (and so much more!) imposed on my vacation and made me feel like I was staying with an overbearing relative rather than on a girls trip.
Our host seems more concerned with the almighty dollar than the guest experience and that was very evident during my stay. I would NOT recommend anyone staying with Anita. I would go further to say that she needs to be reprimanded by AirBnB (or removed entirely) for this egregious experience.
