Sharon was a very responsive host and communicated quickly with us through Airbnb. Sharon's apartment was located in a great area and her instructions for check-in were simple to follow. I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb properties and have never experienced any inaccuracies in listings before and have never left negative reviews until now. Sharon's apartment was a HUGE disappointment and I don't know what filters she used in her photos, but they were extremely inaccurate. Upon entering the foyer, the stairs up to the apartment were very worn out and the paint was all chipped and there was an overwhelming smell of weed, which was not a good first impression. When we entered the apartment, we found out that the first level (second floor of the house) also smelled strongly of weed. We had 3 children staying with us in the apartment. While I'm fully aware that marijuana is legal in MA, it was not the atmosphere we were looking for after a long day of travel. The condition of the apartment was not at all what we expected. Sharon's pictures make it appear fresh and spacious. Instead, the apartment is dark and the living room is cramped with a small step-down kitchen and a very narrow full bathroom. The furniture in the living room was threadbare, the bedding on the beds was old and tired-looking. Right after the kids turned on the light in the second-floor bedroom, the light bulb went out and they got scared. There was a large stain on the carpet of the left side bedroom on the third floor. The full bathroom on the main floor had an extremely slanted tile floor and the bathtub looked like it was going to fall through the floor. There was over an inch gap between the grout and the floor. Upstairs on the third floor is a half bath that 2 of the guests got stuck in because the doorknob is loose and had to be opened from the outside. We were so disgusted by the conditions and none of us felt like we could spend the night there despite the fact that we traveled all day and it was already almost 9 pm. I called some hotels and had to reserve rooms at last-minute prices. We stayed there for only about 15 minutes, but I wish we had taken true photos of what the apartment really looked like. I messaged Sharon right after we arrived at the hotel we had to book and she argued with me about how she couldn't control tenants' actions (I understand the legality of weed in MA, but didn't want to subject 3 kids to the fumes) and also stated that she had been to the apartment that day and it was spotless. It was overall old, run-down, and creepy. Sharon said she was going to take pics because I'm disputing this stay with Airbnb and I told her she needed to take TRUE (read: accurate) photos of the conditions in this apartment. I have nothing against Sharon personally, but she needs to do some work on that apartment so that it's appealing to renters.
