STAY AWAY from this host!!
I am an experienced Airbnb user and this is the first time I am having troubles with the host.
1. First of all this apartment DOES NOT HAVE a DIRECT OCEAN VIEW, it's facing the buildings around and the roof of another apartment. To see the ocean you have to lean over the balcony rail and then you will see it, so do not hope to get any nice pictures from your balcony.
2. The apartment itself is very-very OLD and DIRTY, all furniture is scratched and dirty, towels and bed sheets are stinky, wet and seems like nobody washed it after the previous tenants. Kitchen appliance is pretty old, shelfs are broken, dishes are scratched and with stains. Microwave does not work at all. The bathroom admires with its dirtiness and the rust all around, there is also no toilet paper and soap was diluted with water... Dinning table, and the coffee table are scratched and broken. The sofa bed is very-very small and inconvenient, there is no way to sleep there and have a rest, pillows on the sofa are dirty as all bed sheets and blankets in this apartment.
3. The host is a BIG LIER and even SCAMMER. She does not speak English at all and the communication with this person was very hard and even impossible without Google Translator. This woman sent me instructions for check in, but did not say anything about check out (I have screenshots of these instructions), and on the last day of our stay we went to the front desk to find out the process of check out. While we were waiting for answer, someone ENTERED APARTMENT WHERE ALL OUR BELONGINS WERE, and they moved everything around (our clothes, our food and personal things) and took pictures and videos of our personal belongings (I have a proof of that in the thread with the host). Then the host started to rush me to leave the apartment urgently because they have another guest coming!! I started to pack my bags and noticed that a LOT OF MY STUFF JUST GONE!! They stole my flip flops, a towel, my bag with shoes AND EVEN FOOD in the fridge (nothing fancy BUT they just took it)!! I was shocked! Meanwhile the host continued to send a ton of messages and urge us to leave, she does not react on my questions and requests about my missing belongings.
4. As soon as we got back home I received a message from host that "we broke her furniture and AC" and requested additional $400 ( Thanks God I took pictures of this apartment and everything in there when we just entered the unit, cause I was shocked with the condition of this apartment and wanted to have those pics), so I have a very solid proves to show that this HOST IS LIER and SCAMMER.
I will proceed with further steps through Aibnb customer support.... but... be aware of thing happened with this host, and avoid my experience living in this unit, it does not worse the claimed price at all. In fact, it's just a SUPER SMALL and DIRTY APARTMENT WITH NO DIRECT OCEAN VIEW AND a VERY RUDE and INSIDIOUS HOST! I regret I rented it.
