I want to start off by saying this was our first time ever staying at an Airbnb and it will be our last. I read every single review before booking this place and can’t believe no one mentioned some of the things I experienced. I will mention a few positives first- they were quick to respond, the location was close to the beach, freeway, shopping and dining, the actual property was very quiet and tucked away so you feel “safe”- however, the neighborhood is sketchy and not in a nice area, the pictures of the outside seating area look nice until you see in person that the chairs outside are covered in mold from the rain and the pillows on the covered area are covered in black cat hair, they also have bowls to feed this cat who lingers in the property, the cat was cute and all but it was never disclosed a cat lives here- would have been nice to know since both my husband and I are very allergic to cats. I was disgusted by the mats/rugs throughout the apartment, they looked like they had not been vacuumed or washed since they were purchased. There was tiny ants all over the kitchen and if you were to leave any food out (which we did before we realized) it would be all COVERED in ants, they know they have this problem because I noticed several “ant traps “ around the house. The mattress is so beyond uncomfortable, you sink down and can feel the springs/coils on the side of the mattress, they have a mattress covered that is plastic which makes a very annoying crunching sounds as you move. There is only 1 ac unit in the bedroom and 2 tiny dusty fans to use for the rest of the place. Coffee but no creamer, and a half used roll of paper towels for the kitchen, it is very clear that the things they provide like hand soap, is the cheapest quality, probably from the dollar store. There was hair all throughout the tile floor when we arrived. This place has some potential if they were to do a deep cleaning and provided some extra necessities like water, creamer for the coffee, and worked on bettering the things I mentioned above. I spent a lot of money on a place that was beyond underwhelming. Stay at a hotel next time.
