My safety concern was a health safety concern due to extreme heat. I arrived at the Airbnb I then realized that it did not have A/C, which was not listed in the description. The Airbnb was hot from the moment I got there with only 2 fans made available: 1) was the biggest floor fan that did not work 2) was a desk fan that gave no relief what so ever. I messaged the host and they told me that they could get the onsite cleaner, Jose to bring me a fan and then I was informed he had left for the day and that fans were hard to find and that he could come by to fix the fan from 7am-8am which I found unacceptable. I had to cancel the cleaner as I had gotten no sleep the night before due to the heat and then started experiencing nausea and was sweating profusely. The area was experiencing the biggest heat wave of the summer and on top of that there was a wildfire near by affecting air quality. I had to resort to freezing towels and wrapping them around my head. I could only stand wearing a t shirt and underwear and when I felt they had no interest in helping me I changed my flight and checked out early. I was supposed to stay until Thursday morning, but left my WORK trip early Wednesday afternoon as I was worried for my health.
I felt like no one actually cared and was crying to my husband the two nights I was there feeling unbearably uncomfortable. I am writing this as a caution so that no one else rents this Airbnb during the summer until this is resolved. It is a 1 bedroom apartment and 1 desk fan is NOT enough at all! there needs to be AT LEAST a large oscillating fan per area: bedroom, living room and kitchen to even attempt to cool the place down. The kind thing would be to have a portable AC or swamp cooler unit.
Worst Airbnb trip I have ever experienced.
