Horrible experience with host! Booked from aug 18-26, couple hours due to arriving we got a message from Bruce that the oven was broken with previous guest and will be broken during our stay (I needed a oven to cook and bake for my daughters birthday, cousins birthday and best friends celebration of life was a main reason on getting a airbnb) upon arriving the pool was very dirty (green/cloudy and I have pictures) so I messaged the host and host response was nothing looks wrong with the pool and that the pool cleaner shocked the pool and dirt and debris is a problem outside! Lies! pool didn't Start clearing up till the 3rd day because we left it running constantly and previous renters left it dirty (I took daily morning pictures as proof) same night coming home late my children couldn't operate the guest bathroom shower as the handle did a full spin without stopping, little water would come out making it hard to get a warm or hot setting and tub was backing up with water so I messaged the host (sorry to bother but is there a trick to the guest shower? Can't seem to get it to work properly) I didn't expect a response because it was 1am but seeing pervious reviews I had to notify him when it happened so I'm not blamed for damage and his response was ( why would you message me at 1am witch was appreciated and no one ever complained about the shower! He started to attack me after that stating I need to get out of his house and he's not comfortable with me! Saying he can kick anyone out of his house whenever he wants! All this because I messaged him about a dirty pool, and the shower not working properly! Bruce then harrased us with " he's coming over to kick us out! He's shutting off the electric and water! He contacted airbnb support and lied to them saying we broke the shower so he could get us in violation and kick us out! Lies! He was turning off the lights outback for over 1 hour in the evening on my children ages 1, 7, 11 & 13 how childish and unprofessional of him! Airbnb did not instruct me to leave the whole stay even with the host trying to kick us out! I offered to leave his house if he gave a full refund of $1480 instant and $1000 to find new accommodations last minute witch he refused. We stayed the whole trip because we had no place to go on short notice. Upon leaving host did not refund anything for things not working properly in his house! we also had to deal with a huge water leak from the master shower overflow drain! it was obviously a pervious problem because there was a cut out in the ceiling garage where water leaked before! after a plumber came and cut the ceiling we seen the pipes arent correct making watereak through the walls, in the garage and down the driveway. Also took him 4 days and repeated messages to refund $24 for refilling the gas tank for the grill. His response was we left the house dirty upon leaving and don't know if the cleaners will charge us extra! Another lie! I took pictures of the house and yard before leaving because I knew he would say something stupid! We had all trash bagged up (2 trash 2 recycling cans/plastic bottles) because we missed trash day, we washed all towels, stripped all beds and did most of the laundry in the house leaving only 2 or 3 loads left for the cleaners to wash, washed all dishes and did a walk through before leaving that everything was ok and at the same time taking pictures of all rooms so i had proof of how we left the house because of pervious rents reviews! Bruce is not a good host and will try anything to pin anything on you! There's even previous reviews that say this! I did block his ring camera the 2nd day just so I could get lunch for my kids and not have him show up and remove all our belongings because he was watching us on the cameras! I would never rent from him again and have a active case open against him and his actions on me and my family (3 adults 3 children 1 infant) if anyone has complained about his rentals they can contact me also to build a better case! I'm sure he will see this post and have some excuse on everything I posted as if he's not at fault or own up to anything he did since he messaged me to not leave him a bad review so he wouldn't leave me a bad review on my account! I am a good renter and had no issues in the past renting!
