Upon checking in the lock on the back entrance gave us a lot of trouble so we contacted the host who instructed us to "fidget with it and wiggle it" until it opens. After getting drenched by the rain we finally got it open. The overall unit was quaint as described but quickly we realised that both of our allergies started acting up and every night that I stayed there was horrible as my asthma was acting up. The first step I took was to check the ac filters which were covered in dust hence why I was having issues breathing and having to use my inhaler. Second issue was the window by the bed would light up every 2 minutes because the motion sensor lights kept going on and off which had us scared at first thinking there was someone outside when in reality maybe it was a lizard or something else making the lights come on but this made it difficult to sleep on top of the dirty ac filters. The next thing was the shower. The choice of showerhead is poor as it doesn't allow enough water pressure for a person with long hair to efficiently wash themselves along with the extreme fluctuations in water temperature from ice cold to scalding hot every 5-10 seconds. It was like playing hop scotch jumping in when the temperature is decent and jumping away before it burned or froze your face off. Next the sink wouldn't drain and also the toilet seat was very loose. Then the "designated parking spot" would be taken every night forcing us to park on the street.
All these concerns were raised to the host and the only thing that was actually addressed was the sink being clogged. The host refused to take responsibility and tried to blame us being in the unit for not addressing the ac filters which was false as we witnessed the house keeper take the filters out in our presence "wipe them" with a rag instead of washing them with water and a brush like you're supposed to do. Then the host lied and said the house keeper fixed the toilet when it was literally the exact same way it was before, loose. The host tried to make a big deal like she did us a huge favor because we asked for a new set of sheets and towels as if it was such an inconvenience for her. Most airbnb units offer an extra set as a complimentary convenience. I tried to just resolve all this through direct messages with the host and not leave a bad review but the utter lack of accountability and gas lighting prompted me to share my horrible experience as it was more of a nightmare trying to get a peaceful night's sleep with dust mite infested air filters and continuous flashing motion sensor lights right in your face shining from the sides of the bedroom window making you wonder if there's a creep outside waiting to break in. Then to have to wake up and not even enjoy a nice shower at a consistent temperature and decent water pressure didn't make things any better. And to wrap things up we followed check out instructions to a T by collecting our trash but when we went to toss it there were no garbage bins to be found so we messaged the host and let her know we would set the slightly filled trash bag outside next to the door to make it easy for the house keeper to dispose of and the host said it would be fine. But after she requested that I leave her a positive review since "she left me one" and I told her I would not because of all the issues I raised above she refused to take accountability and made sure to remind me that "they went above and beyond to take out the trash" LOL when there was nowhere to throw the trash away. This is honestly a joke at this point as I mentioned I didn't even want to leave a bad review but just for them to address the issues for the next guests in order to help them but clearly they did not want to acknowledge any of it so here we are. Have a blessed day!
