There were hand smudges and stains on the walls of my room. The entire building smelled like a blend of dog, decaying building material and plug-in freshener scents. The porches were dirty. All this despite a $40 cleaning fee(!!!!). Kitchen was okay but had high per capita use due to many small rooms - the place is not a house but a converted tri-plex, so basically a crap hostel. The photo did not show the whole room. It just had a picture of the bunk bed. I guess that's because there was only room to stand up and not even room for a chair or dresser. There was a vent in the wall with the furnace opposite, so light and furnace noise came through the vent. There were cameras everywhere in the common spaces - the place is a panopticon. When I arrived and saw the place I immediately asked to alter my booking (not cancel - just alter it to only be for one day). The host refused, basically saying that he is strict on any changes/cancellations because he could lose money. This host is a slumlord who realized Airbnb gave him an advantage because boarders dont have the rights that tenants do. I left early and went to another place even though I lost money.
