The number one thing to know about this rental is that it is by no means an “executive rental”, and number two is that there’s really not a true Airbnb host.
There is a start up worth millions called Blueground that does a brisk business in this area fixing up a very mediocre and borderline sketchy property with trendy furniture and then renting them out in a tight market. So if you are truly backed into a corner, it’s not unsafe but it’s definitely not worth the money.
We had issues from the time we walked in with a fishy cooking smell and then discovered there is no pot for the coffee pot.
Then when we closed the door to the bedroom, we discovered that it locks but they do not provide a key. So our first night we called the host number and reached a call center. We were told that even though essential medicines were locked in the bedroom, that did not constitute enough urgency to provide us with a key! Also they could not even give us a timeline when they could provide us a coffee pot. So no coffee and no medicine - and no one really seemed to care.
This is so different from all our previous Airbnb experiences, it was a bit shocking till we googled and saw the other reviews for this “host”.
From there it went downhill. The walls are paper thin and there is in infant crying next-door that we overheard it all hours of the night. The parking space we were provided had a faucet sticking out of the wall, extremely narrow, and scratched our SUV. The shower stall had a layer of paint on the bottom, and the parts that chipped had developed a mold underneath. The Sofa was tiny and uncomfortable.
Given that this place was not at all what was advertised and $250 per night, we requested enough of an adjustment to rent something else but they only provided us partial compensation. Airbnb offered to help us find another place but then sent us listings in a completely different part of the state.
The saving grace was they offered to let us out of our booking if we found another place. So definitely would not recommend Blueground or this particular rental.
