The home immediately smelled of mold, and was warm and musty.
The bathtub was stained a thick yellow film.
The living room had stains on the wall, and was dirty behind the sofa.
The front deck was dirty and littered with leaves, and the plastic chairs were dirty from leaves, dirt.
After communicating our concerns about the condition of the place to our “host” she responded by stating she “didn’t clean it” and didn’t know “how it looked inside”. She asked if we could go occupy ourselves while she cleaned it properly, to which we declined to do and ultimately canceled our reservation. It was already 5pm, and the host is allotted 4 hours from last checkout to next check in, and we had nowhere to go.
We involved Airbnb in our attempts to have our money refunded, and after a week were only offered a “coupon” to use in the future.
The host was allowed to keep our money and likely post the unit available for that week again, doubling her profits. If this were a hotel we would’ve been immediately offered a new room rather than be told to just deal with it.
Don’t waste your time or money here people, it’ll be your regret.
