I understand people want to be nice and leave good reviews but it's doing a
HUGE disservice to this great platform and
the public for you to lie. I feel like people leave false good reviews/ratings
because they feel they may be in a position
where they may need the hosts help in the future.
With that being said, my honest review is, this person should not be hosting on airbnb.
The place is cluttered in the general area. Too much traffic in and out.
I believe the host lives there with her 3 grown children who stared at us
and made us very uncomfortable. Especially for a 1 night stay.
Initially we thought they were guests but, they did not introduce themselves so there was no way to know at first. We were sitting out front on the porch to get some air from the hot room when we witnessed a boxing match between two BIG [explitive] RATS.
The place next door is boarded up and abandoned, which is where I think the rats have house parties hourly 24/7.
The cobwebs in the top corner of the ceiling (above the bed) led me to believe that this place is not cleaned regularly.
The bathroom was decent & somewhat clean for a full family house but there was a nasty wet towel on the floor outside of the tub when we arrived.
Kitchen sink full of dishes. The huge flatscreen in the living room was on the floor.
The host was standing outside of the room door (coincidentally) with a creepy looking smile on her face when my boyfriend was trying to get to the bathroom. He said she seemed like a very nice lady but was still creeped out.
To top it off the booking stated "flexible checkout" and she had her son (I think) come knock on our door to kick us out early the next morning. We told him about what the listing said and he said "MY BAD" and left.
Last but not least, the bed was extremely high (3 mattresses) and uncomfortable.
There was no nightstand to place your things; the dresser was huge ( taking up space) they had personally belongings inside of the dresser (trash, mail & miscellaneous items).
The air conditioner was not powerful enough for the room it was in and NO KEY for the room to lock our belongings in, so we could not both leave at the same time.
If you're desperate, book this place. If you have the luxury of making wise choices, do a good search for a comfortable and convenient place to avoid being in a run down neighborhood. Very unprofessional.
