A house on the wrong side of the tracks.
Sold as an upscale stay in a quiet residential area, but is actually located literally 5 feet away from a major railroad. Massive freight trains are trafficking around the clock, in our only night’s stay (before we escaped) trains came at 10.30pm, midnight, 4.30am, 5am and 5.30am. The trains will sound the whistle loudly three times as they pass right by the bedroom wall, and the whole house will shake constantly for 5 minutes. The host claims not to be aware of this, so I guess they’ve never visited their own property. Expect little sleep.
Even worse, one of the entrances to the house couldn’t be locked as the digital lock was out of order. The host was notified but did nothing to fix this in the 18 hours we stayed there. We were scared to go to bed as the area is NOT the kind where you leave the front door unlocked.
After staying awake all night - 8 hours chatting to Airbnb support - I got help to relocate. The host wouldn’t help.
