I am writing this review for Airbnb and to share my unforgettable experience as a “guest” of Gina.
I booked a 4 night- 5 day stay at Gina’s residence/Airbnb. Unfortunately, during that weekend and my stay a horrific Winter Storm hit Austin that left most of Texas without power.
After 2 days of no power, I took a walk to find somewhere to charge my phone, find food etc. Later that day Coming back & noticing her pets were gone I asked if she was planning to stay in her apt. That night. To which she responded “probably not”. She did not communicate this prior at any part of the day.
I am a young woman who has never visited TX and who has no family or friends there.
That night she left I decided to stay there bc finding a hotel in the middle of a blackout was nearly impossible.
That night a man tried breaking into her apt.
Prior to this I had a terrible gut feeling and I was scared so a chair was placed under the main entrance doorknob which didn’t allow the man to enter As the doorknob wouldn’t turn. During this incident I messaged her to tell her this was happening and she never replied. Until this day she hasn’t responded.
I was lucky to think fast, grab my things and jump out of the balcony and hop into my Rental and lucky to even be safe at home typing this review.
This was such a traumatic experience, and I say this to let everyone know that if things go south Gina will not be the person to help. She will leave you stranded and not even check in on you. Her actions were inconsiderate and irresponsible and she should not be allowed to be a host. I would not stay here again or any place she chooses to manage.
