I booked a 6-night stay for me, my gf and our dog. If you’re looking for a relaxing time, this is not the place for you. The place has very thin walls (we heard babies crying, parties happening downstairs). Although the noise was manageable, we left less than 24 hours after check in due to hearing multiple sets of gunshots throughout the night. Very frightening, very close, and very traumatizing. To be fair, this is not something that is the fault of the host- however, we asked for a refund and due to AirBnB’s policies the only way any refund could be given was if the host (Joe) agreed to alter our stay duration on his end. He stated there was zero flexibility. When my AirBnB mediator reached out to him to try to negotiate (on my behalf), the host said “since there weren’t any shots on the police blotter” he was sticking by his decision and not altering my stay duration. Not only did it upset me that I was called a “liar”, but the call to the local police to receive a confirmation (incident/case number) that there were indeed shots in the area, took A TOTAL OF 2 MINUTES. I was not asking for a refund on the night I stayed, just the ones I didn’t due to the serious safety issues.
The lack of morality and consideration ensures that I would never book a listing through this host again. Save your money, (and yourself) and go to another location with AirBnB.
