We picked zia's house because it's pretty close to my house that was flooded. We especially picked it because we have a dog and Zia had a back yard that looked nice in the photos.
Zia's back yard was not at all like the photos. It was dangerous to pets. The backyard was trashed with garbage that my dog tried to eat, it was not fenced well so my dog could run straight to a busy street through the large gaps, it has lots of rocks and holes everywhere, and it wasn't serviced in months so the weeds got to my hips, and I got compeletly wet every time I took the dog out. After a week zia brought yard workers that made lots of noise for 3 hours, between 6-9pm, and made it impossible to have a quiet evening at the house.
In addition, Zia has four surveillance cameras around the house. Two of them are directed in the seating area in the back of the house. That allows him to see the guests sitting there 24h/7 and makes it very uncomfortable to sit there. It is not disclosed before check-in.
The house is located on an area with no sidewalks except the busy street which is very loud.
Last, Zia is not responsive. He did not respond to my messages or Airbnb messages and calls about the issues above.
