After paying for the Airbnb, I immediately reached out to the host. I ended up reaching out several times in a period of 24 hours to no avail. The host finally responded a few hours before checkin. A code to the door was provided that did not work. I ended up baking in the Texas sun for over 40 minutes before the host responded. Once the code was received, I was already late for getting to my event, which I then had to miss. When I viewed the flat, it was dusty, which immediately caused issues with my allergies (I asked the host to make sure the unit was cleaned before I arrived to which they responded, “of course”.) Upon viewing the bathtub, it had not been cleaned. It looked as if a dog had been bathed in it and not cleaned after.
When I reached back out to the host, I told them I was not happy. Their response was simply, “OK”. They said if I wasn’t happy, they would provide a refund. I never received a refund.
Beware of this Airbnb and especially the host. They are not quick to respond and won’t care about your comfort level. The only other recent review was in may of 2022. Before that the reviews seem to be from 2018. Not sure if she ran it better then but I would steer clear from here on out.
AVOID THIS HOST AT ALL COSTS.
I couldn’t find another Airbnb in my budget and ended up having to sleep in my car for a few hours until a friend who lives in Austin arrived back in town.
