I ALMOST NEVER WRITE A BAD REVIEW, BUT THIS IS AN EXCEPTION. THIS GUY WAS JUST RUDE, DIDN'T CARE AND RENTED TO ME FOR A QUICK BUCK WITH ALMOST ZERO EFFORT, THEN HE TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK AS IF HE WAS DOING ME A FAVOR. I NEEDED TO SLEEP AND RESOLUTION WITH AIRBNB IS NOT EASY DURING COVID-19.
MY MESSAGE TO HIM ABOUT HIS BROKEN REFRIGERATOR, AFTER HIS REPLY ‘THANKS, I’LL LET THE LANDLORD KNOW’ HIS MESSAGES MAKES IT SOUND LIKE HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE, NOT THE LANDLORD FOR REPAIRS???.
I have to be up at 4am, so keeping anything in there is not going to happen. It would be nice if someone would contact you to make repairs convenient, but I thought resolving this for the guest in some way was going to be your reply. Obviously, the refrigerator is a big part of renting the whole place. I think a partial refund is only reasonable.
FROM HOST It’s 9 pm, you just let me know about it. You arrived today and told me about it. There is no way for me to get someone out there at this time of night. (NOT TRUE—I DON'T THINK, HE WOULD. IT’S NOT TRUE). You told me the freezer is working, you can put what you need in ice , into the fridge. , i could of had it fixed for you earlier if this was something you told me about upon arriving. I was unaware of the issue. (THIS REFRIGERATOR SMELLED, HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR SOME TIME)
MY RESPONSE WHEN HE ASKED HOW MUCH COMPENSATION WOULD BE “WORTH”
I don’t want to argue with you. I expect what I pay for. How about the cost of your cleaning fee? That’s $40–and call it a night.
FROM HOST: To me it would be worth no more than $10. The rest of the studio is perfect and you have a working freezer which could be used to cool or keep something cool
Also keep in mind I let you check in way earlier than the normal check in time Normal check in time is 3 pm, you checked in at 10 am To me that would be worth something as well
(HIS LISTING LISTS CHECK-IN AS "FLEXIBLE," AND IF I KNEW THE REFRIGERATOR WAS NOT WORKING, I WOULD HAVE WAITED FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO GET BACK TO ME. AGAIN, ALL HE DID WAS MESSAGE ME A CODE AND AN ADDRESS AFTER I PAID).DURING THIS TIME OF CV-19, I DO NOT LIKE SEEING PEOPLE AFFECTED ECONOMICALLY, BUT THE HOST'S ATTITUDE WAS SO BAD
.
AS I SAID TO HIM WHEN HE TOLD ME WHAT I WAS GETTING FOR $150 AND WHAT DID I EXPECT?
I EXPECTED WHAT I PAID FOR-—AT LEAST! AND AT LEAST, THROW OUT THE CONDOMS IN THE BATHROOM! I ALMOST DID. A PERSON WOULD HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO THINK THEY'RE SAFE AND A PERSON WOULD HAVE TO NOT CARE ABOUT "CLEANING" THE PLACE AND LEAVE THEM THERE IT'S A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!
ANYONE’S GUESS HOW CLEAN THE SHEETS AND TOWELS WERE!
