WOULD NOT STAY HERE AGAIN! We rented this place for my uncle’s funeral service for a week. In our Samoan culture, funerals are usually a week long affair. First day, host said she was going to send someone to fix a leaking issue underneath the sink. Later, her brother-in-law stopped by to pick up something. Then mid-week, she said her sister-in-law needed to pick up something then she texted me hours later saying she was going to check the bathroom. However, her sister stayed for over 30 minutes, questioned us as if we were criminals and checked all of the rooms as if we had stolen something. I felt like the visits were disguised as maintenance issues or whatever else in order to check up on us. We felt DISCRIMINATED AGAINST and our PRIVACY VIOLATED.
This was an already stressful week and the host and her family added to it significantly. We also paid for extra guests but when my obese uncle broke one of the chairs, the host said, “Well if he is obese, he should check the chair before he sits on it.” Mind you, THESE WERE THE ONLY CHAIRS PROVIDED. So now, she's blaming him for being fat, basically. She tried to squeeze in a profit (I get it, it’s a pandemic) where ever she could by charging $150 to fix a broken chair leg, accusing my family and I of leaving her house “dirty” (which we did not), and THREATENING to resolve this through AirBnb.
I’ve been messaging back and forth with her about all of this before posting this review but she deflects responsibility. Then she also tried to give me a discount so I wouldn’t give her a negative review and lose her “Superhost” status. I felt like this host tried to take advantage of my family and I, by MILKING us where ever she could and now I wonder about the integrity of all of the previous comments left by other AirBnb guests she hosted. This was our first time renting an AirBnb and it was horrible first experience.
