“Peaceful place for you” was the last of my experiences.
While at first the host seemed nice and friendly (I even helped her set up her wifi for a stronger connection), things took a quick turn for the worse almost as soon as I arrived.
Upon my arrival at 3:28 pm I asked the host if I could have the wifi password given that I am a teacher and I needed to submit my lesson plans before 4 pm that afternoon. The host replied with “the password is on the counter” (when she could have very easily just typed the password). Long story short the wifi was actually not on the counter. At 3:37 pm after having notified her that the password was actually not on the counter, I asked her again for the wifi password. At exactly 4:16 pm she tells me to go into another one of her room rentals and look for the password. At that time my lesson plan was late and of course I’d have to answer to my Principal about it.
That same day upon my check in, I noticed the restroom was full of ants, flies were all over the room, and worse yet my bed sheets were full of long black hairs. The host asked that I switch to one of the other Airbnb rooms she had available (she rents out 3 rooms therefore that means to might be sharing one restroom with up to 5 other people at any given point), therefore I did. After having switched, that same night she asked if I could be out of that room at 9 am the next day so that she could rent it out. I said yes and I did as I said.
The following day I parked on the driveway given the lack of street parking, I of course asked her if that was ok, she replied yes of course you stay there. Not even 2 hours passed when she woke me up so that I could move my car which was in fact not blocking anyone from moving their car.
On Sunday, May 29 at 12:21 pm I asked the host if I could have an extra towel given that the one towel I was given for my 3 day stay was now damp and dirty. Almost 2 hours later the host replies with “I’ll get you one”, 30 minutes after her reply (2 hours and a half after I had requested the towel) her daughter knocks on my door with the towel. At such point I had already gone to the store and purchased my own towel.
That same night I arrived at the house at around 10:00 pm. Upon my arrival the host told me “I hope you don’t need the restroom because it’s been clean” luckily I didn’t. 30 minutes later the host send me a passive aggressive message asking that I not change any of the house settings without her consent. I had no idea what she was taking about given that I never touched anything that was not within the walls of my room.
At that point, given her message, I decided to mention how I had purchased a towel earlier that day. The purpose of my message was simply to inform her, well she replied with an aggressive message stating that if I don’t tell her my needs she won’t know them. Funny thing is I always did and she disregarded all of them.
At 10:44 pm she was still arguing with me. At such time I had to contact Airbnb and at such time Airbnb asked that she stop harassing/messaging me and for me to just block her from messaging me, Rest , and leave the next day as scheduled.
My experience at such home was like non I had ever experienced. The peaceful place for you the host mentions is anything but peaceful. Every night the host would loudly argue with her daughter about how she had not properly taken care of her cleaning duties. As stated before, the host would be loud while cleaning or doing laundry regardless of how late in the day (night) it was.
Wendyam ended up having to return the cleaning fee of my total payment.
A message for anyone staying there in the future. If ever you need anything, go to the daughter as apparently she is the true host. Also be careful with the tv stand as it is very wobbly and could fall at any point. I say this so she won’t try to charge you for the tv sitting on it in the event that it of course falls while you’re there.
Best of luck!
