This is first bad Airbnb experience, before this i had been pretty happy with all my bookings.
I informed Avi of our arrival in the morning on the day of the check-in. We were going to reach around 4-6 PM. Avi waited till the last minute to call us exactly at 4 PM and informed that he was going to have the roof replaced during our stay. I called airbnb as soon as the call with Avi ended and they informed me that in such cases they will book another place and request a refund from the host. I called Avi back at which point he said he was going to delay the replacement of the roof until after we leave. When we arrived the material for the roof replaced was already on placed on top of the house and the house next door. It assumed that Avi owned the neighboring property as well since the worker the next day were moving materiel back and forth from the top of our roof to the house next door. It was clear to me that Avi knew in advance that he was going to have roof work done. I had a chat with him that morning but he waited until i was 30 minutes away from the house to inform me of the work that he intended to perform.
In addition the bathrooms were not cleaned, the toilets had pee stains on the seats and there was a dead lizard in wall by the TV. The next day the roof work started on the house next door to us. Even though the work was next door the they placed the Tar Kettle equipment just by the driveway in our house and the house was filled with smell of burning Tar. We decided to just leave quickly to avoid having the kids breath in those smells. The next day the tar kettle was placed even closer, that day we were suppose to check out by 11:00 am, so we moved quickly to leave the house. My experience at Avi's house was not a pleasant one and i cannot recommend it. The only time we enjoyed our vacation when we were out of house.
