The $80 cleaning fee was refunded to me after finding (and photographing) that the place wasn't cleaned prior to my stay and clearly hadn't been cleaned in a while-like months. The dog is sweet-but he is allowed to toilet in the apartment on a pad-the floors throughout are not cleaned and sanitized which created a strong odor and visable buildup. The carpet next to my cot was also soaked in fresh urine.
After I reported (via Airbnb platform) the state of the apartment, the host became very confrontational and argumentitive with me, taking no accountability for her unethical actions, passing the blame onto me. I was stuck here in this Airbnb due to the lack of other available rentals during the holidays. She was trying to bully me out, bragging that she'd still get her money even if I cancelled (due to her no cancellation policy) She turned off the lights during one of my online job interviews and on a second interview, she blasted a tv program. She tried to take my keys a day early.
