This AirB&B stay was disappointing at best. For starters, the building this unit is in was dirty, and the hallways smelled like a combination of vape juice, dog food, cheap room spray.
When we arrived, the unit was drastically smaller than it appeared in photos. The surfaces were clean, but when we walked in, there were two large stains on the couch; the unit smelled like cigarettes, and was very much in need of a deep cleaning.
I messaged the person for this property with photos, and quickly received a shocked and apologetic response. They scheduled their cleaning people to come out the next day to do a deep cleaning. We packed up all of our stuff and took our dog with us first thing the next day so they could get in and deep clean.
When we came back that afternoon/evening, the stains were gone on the couch, but that was all that appeared clean. When I took a shower, the bottoms on my feet were dirty after walking around the unit for 15-20 minutes.
The person in charge of the property messaged that evening to see how things were, and I had to level with them that the place was still dirty. They were very apologetic, but since they were not on the premises and quite possibly never came to the unit, they had no idea what this place was like. They refunded the clean fee, but that didn’t make our stay there any easier.
With a small unit, it should be easy to clean, but with every drawer, I opened, each kitchen utensil I went to use, or when I would pick something off the floor, all I saw was dirt and disgusting evidence of previous tenants. The plates, flatware were either greasy or still had food on them, but there was no sponge/dish brush to clean them. Since there wasn’t a dishwasher in the unit, I’m sure most of them never get clean.
The furniture was cheap rickety stuff from Amazon that I worried would break if used. Our last evening there, we came home to a ladder on the side of the building and someone’s clothes all around the doorsteps.
Overall I couldn’t wait to get our stay done, and I would never stay there again.
