Apartment smelled terrible, AC didn’t aways work, oven was broken, neighbors and location was loud, and there was no pool access. We were meant to stay for two months but left after two weeks.
The apartment smelled awful. We purchased an air purifier, deodorizers, sprayed febreeze, opened windows and left the fan on when we were home but nothing helped. It’s been several days since we’ve left and everything we brought with us to Texas still smells even after several loads of laundry.
We also couldn’t risk another night of not having air conditioning. We also don’t understand why the oven wasn’t fixed before we arrived and still hadn’t been fixed for the two weeks we were there. We also did not have access to the pool despite that being on the listing.
Neighbors were also loud and there’s a back alley right by the bedroom window which was very noisy. The garbage disposal for the complex is right near the apartment so there were many roaches, bugs, and flies.
We’ve lost thousands of dollars because of these issues (cancellation outside of the Airbnb/ host refund policy), but are happy with our choice to just not be there anymore.
We’ve stayed at many Airbnbs previously, but this experience is a strong weight on the side of never trying one again.
