To start, this house is not private or quiet. Be it the upstairs neighbors loud footsteps or their outside parties on what’s say is a private yard, we had trouble sleeping due to excessive noise. Also, our dinner plans were ruined when we learned that the yard is not private and in fact shared, and our neighbor had already claimed the yard for their own party. The neighbors also smoked cigars that forced us to shut our windows during a heat wave, and left empty drink containers around the yard and deck. When I brought this up to the host, they rudely asked why it even mattered if we weren’t home (we had to go out as our upstairs neighbors were having a party…), as if paying all this money for a bait and switch wasn’t reason enough. The host then had the audacity to request CASH payments, outside of Airbnb, for pets, and even emotional service animals. Also, the WIFI was terrible and hardly worked so definitely do not plan to get work done here. Also no fans, so the air is incredible stagnant in the basement. This feels like a total money grab, bait and switch situation. This has turned me off to Airbnb and made me miss the consistency and service of a hotel. We will definitely not be staying here again.
