DO NOT STAY HERE!!! RATS IN THE HOUSE!
While outside on the back patio, three times I saw the same rat. It ran from the bushes to the wood pile. Then across the steps to the sliding door.
At around 10:30pm, the same rat was inside the house and ran under the sofa. The same sofa we were just sitting on watching Netflix.
Then it ran under the dish washer.
I immediately texted the host.
I got NO response. Nothing. I did not get a response until 12 hours later, when I had left the house. It wasn’t I’m so sorry/ how can we fix this. The response was “there isn’t a mouse in the photo you sent.”
I responded, yes. I don’t have my phone ready... I wasn’t expecting a rat in the house. And I was occupied trying to get it out of the house, block the hole, and calm down my kids.
All six of us slept upstairs because we were disgusted and scared rats would be scurrying around downstairs while we slept.
I requested a refund. Valentina denied my request.
I paid $1224 for one night. This is a TOTAL SCAM! Don’t get suckered like I did.
I have stayed at Air B&Bs all over the US, France, Spain, and Italy. And this is the worst place I have been.
The photos do not accurately represent the house. It was dirty. The floors were gritty and dirty. If you walked barefoot the bottoms of your feet were black.
The front door does not securely close. Anyone weighing 100 pounds could kick the door in. There is a makeshift window unit in one of the bedrooms that is also unsafe, where someone could enter. The corners of the house are dirty and it looks like they quickly tried to remodel doing everything half @ss.
The pool is dirty, full of algae, the tiles are broken on the edge. On first glance you would never consider buying this house.
It is in a low income neighborhood. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my Range Rover in the driveway.
I could literally go on for chapter after chapter of everything that was wrong with this home. But in sum, it is an absolute scam. The photos look like this is a mansion in Forest Hills. In reality this is a dilapidated very low income small home in East Dallas that is dirty and rat infested. They threw in some dishes, video games, and a photo wall.
Air B&B should remove this listing as it does not comply with their guidelines and policies.
It should be priced no more than $120 A night. I paid in total over $1200 for one night, which was an absolute scam.
