I recently stayed at this location (February 11th-13th) and wanted to share a few concerns. Main reason, this location is described in such a way, it will attract more female clientele, and I would like for them to be aware of what they are walking into.
Positives:
1. when I first arrived and couldn’t get in, due to being given the incorrect access code for the gate, the host was responsive in providing me access and a new code. During the conversation she also followed up with me to ensure I found parking. Since it was a concern I brought up a few days prior to arrival.
Because of the above, I truly felt the stay would have went well.
However, upon entering the premises the first thing I notice, was a large box on the inside of the door. Then upon entering the place was completely a mess (floor dirty, bathroom and living room highly dusty (had to wear my socks the entire time), and items that seem to be left over from someone that recently moved out.
Reason I’m appalled by this, the host was expecting me. If she knew there was concerns around preparing the place to the the standard specified in her description, I should have been notified and given the option to cancel.
Second concern, and ladies this is more for you.
On Saturday evening, around 7:45p, someone attempted to open the door without knocking. Fortunately the door chain was in place and prevented him from coming in.
In speaking with him, he was given $20 to take a picture of the refrigerator to ensure no items were taken.
REASON, the host informed him that I open the fridge during the day and was going through her items in the fridge.
At this point I was ready to leave. I opened the Air BNB app, in an attempt to reach out to the host, and noticed the host sent me a question around 4pm, asking, if I used the fridge.
My assumption for the question, her alert on her app may have went off on Saturday because I placed a bottle of drink in her fridge (which never stated, Please Do Not Open).
In communicating with her, she stated, she had two prior guests who ate her food and destroyed her place, reason she sent the intruder to check in.
However, I’m unclear why she would believe I would be of the mindset to steal her food or destroy her place.
Before the intruder situation, I was going to give the host, 3 stars, because of the disrespectful nature the place was left. However, I wil be dropping my review to two stars, because of that unsafe event. Made me wonder, if it was my wife or daughter staying her, how would they have responded to the state of the apartment and intruder invasion. Reason for me sharing the above.
Warning to Potential guests: book this perceived brothel with caution.
