Do NOT book! Go somewhere else or just get a hotel room. We left the same day of check in and got a last minute hotel room because it was that bad. The host does not offer a refund so DONT waste your money! I’ve used Airbnb for years and never had a problem until this listing and this host. This listing is a huge misrepresentation.
If you want more detail see below:
1. The camera he claims is only in the “living space” is pointed at EVERYTHING downstairs. The living space, the dining table, the downstairs bedroom, and the downstairs bathroom. I was due to stay there with 5 girls. Not ok! And the male host would not allow us to cover it even after we called Airbnb for help. What is he doing with this camera? Why does he NEED to watch his guests?
2. The AC units are too small for the rooms and windows they are put in. The host taped up pieces of cardboard to fit the unit in the window and heat and humidity comes in because it’s obviously not supposed to fit in that space. For the price of this listing you’d hope he could make the space more comfortable.
3. We found cockroaches. Enough said.
4. Construction was happening underneath the living room around 5pm on a Friday and maybe later but we had left the Airbnb by then not wanting to stay any longer
5. Men were catcalling us outside.
6. Parking passes are not as easy as the host suggests so if you have more than one car consider that. The place you need to buy the extra parking pass for closes at 5pm. We got there at 4:55pm because we had to walk several blocks to get there and they refused to sell us passes. They don’t open again until Monday.
7. The area is not ideal. We didn’t feel safe leaving the house and we didn’t feel safe IN the house either so we called Airbnb to tell them about the misrepresentation of the listing and that we were not staying.
8. The host is not accommodating at all! After calling him about our problems he didn’t want to do anything to make us more comfortable. He just claimed he told us about the camera (that points everywhere). He just knows that he doesn’t give refunds so he doesn’t care about anything once you’ve booked/paid.
