When I found Brian’s listing I was excited I saw a picture of two mature dogs and kitty cat and thought what a perfect place for my very low-key dog as well.
It said private tranquil it look like a paradise in pictures and said private!
When we arrived driving in traffic from Los Angeles Brian was just leaving and seemed annoyed because he was on his way to play poker and wasn’t sure when we were arriving. It’s stated check in anytime after 2 PM we arrived at 4:30 PM expecting instructions on how to let ourselves in and not needing a chaperone.
But,Brian let us know he had two new puppies that were very high strung!!!
and it would be a good idea for us to meet first. I wanted to turn around and go back to LA !!!
the puppy was jumping all over my bare legs I had a skirt on with his claws was barking at my dog stressing him out after a 4 1/2 hour drive. It was absolutely no mention of two new young puppies it said peaceful tranquil and a picture of two mature dogs one of which I guess passed away unfortunately he did not update these details in his listing!
Every time we would open the Casita door the two puppies were on the door step!!!
and would try to come in !!
there was absolutely zero privacy and we could not use the grounds for fear of the puppies coming in urinating or coming in and traipsing in mud which one did!!
The one view out the window had a lovely view of the dogs where they defecate and had dog poo that had not been picked up.
We were so upset and exhausted we had a concert to get ready for so I walked my dog around to make sure he was OK but the puppy continually barked at me and barked at him we try to sit in the lounge chairs by the pool just to rest before we left for the evening and the puppy would jump all over us. The only dogs I thought I was going to encounter was the beautiful Bernice mountain dog that was there but stayed in the house away from the puppies because they are just too much for her it seemed.
Needless to say my husband and I went to the concert came home all the lights were out so we thought it was safe to walk around the premises and let my dog out praying that the dogs would not come out or try to get in our Casita with the door open. Much to our surprise to two owners were drinking in the dark which was very unsettling and a bit creepy
and of course after five minutes back from the concert here come the puppies. Totally stressful exhausting we left that morning at 7 AM after Brian’s drunk girlfriend instructed us if we don’t like puppies we should leave now that was at 12:30 AM and she was extremely drunk slurring her words. We were so exhausted and so disappointed we slept a few hours packed and got home I couldn’t wait to get home.
I have never had any kind of bad experience here on Airbnb I think Brian should update his listing to show and let people know there are two young puppies.
Two young lab puppies completely inaccurate description of environment
When I told him that we can’t stay another night we’re exhausted and there’s no privacy and the dog is relentless he didn’t offer to refund us one night if you can imagine that?!!
I have a claim now with Airbnb.
Very disappointed. Would not recommend.
