It pains me to leave a negative review. Raj seems like a very kind and nice person, but our experience at his place was not good. He has a lot of good reviews, so we were really shocked at our experience. After having stayed in over 30 airbnbs this isn't new to us. The few pros are that the bed is comfortable, there is free parking, and the location is decent. The cons for us are a long list, but the biggest issue we had was that the place had not been cleaned prior to us checking-in. But the apartment was presented to us as having been cleaned. The bed had been made with the sheets of the prior guest, there was animal and human hair everywhere, food splatter all over the kitchen, a dirty toilet/tub, floors not been swept or mopped, and I could go on. The place looked like it hadn't been cleaned in 4 months or more. When we alerted him of this were told that his cleaning lady had an emergency. This was after he told us that they had spent 2 days cleaning it. Basically the cleaning person did not inform Raj that the place couldn't be cleaned due to a personal issue, so the person just never informed him and we checked-in to a nightmare. In his defense, he did try his best to make it right as much as one could at that point. But in all truth it ruined a few days our of stay and we felt completely uncomfortable the entire time we stayed there knowing how dirty the place was. The biggest issue we had is that there is no excuse that can be given for this to have happened. It is not our problem as the guest that his cleaning person had an emergency. While I have compassion for people having emergencies it is not okay to make the bed with dirty sheets or not clean a toilet seat and act like all is well. I admit we did end up cleaning the place and getting somewhat of a discount/refund. We did this versus canceling for a full refund because at that point moving to a new location would have meant losing money due to the fact that so last minute there were no airbnbs to pick from in our budget. We felt why should be we forced to pay even more and lose money when we didn't do anything wrong. So we did have to suck it up and deal. Either way had we have moved to a new location or stayed like we did the whole experience really ruined more than a few days of our trip. Aside from the place not being cleaned, most of the furniture in the place is either falling apart, stained, or badly worn. The kitchen really lacked enough utensils to cook a meal. The TV works but is in poor condition as well. I later found out that Raj doesn't take a profit from this airbnb, and gives the money to charity, which is commendable. But that being said, the place sort of has the feel that someone went to goodwill bought a bunch of furniture and threw the place together.
