I felt like a detainee on Ellis island or evicted like a bad tenant in this Airbnb. I had the pleasure of experiencing hell in Florida courtesy of one John of Ft lauderdale. I stayed in his Cottage Room and it was the worst Airbnb experience i have ever had by a long wide margin. At first, john and his wife were not courteous on my arrival. I was somewhat curt and annoyed because the room was not yet cleaned. Although I was there at 2 and stated checkin was 3pm. That’s fine I could wait an hour. When I returned john condescendingly showed me the room and informed me what the rules were. I asked him the check out time and he said 1 pm. I was not informed there was a space heater in the bathroom closet. There is only a window unit with no heat. There is no insulation in the cottage room. At night, it was terribly cold and by morning I felt sick.
John solicited me in the morning as I returning to the room and instructed me to pack
My bags immediately because he had to clean the room. It was 10am in the morning! He just told me the check out was at 1pm the night before. The change was SO arbitrary and random! I have never encountered another Airbnb host so discourteous and renege on his Airbnb promise. And he didn’t even ask me politely. He commanded me to pack my bags immediately and move my bag to the main house so he could clean my room for the next guest!
It was extremely inconvenient for me because I wanted to relax after a night suffering bitter cold temperatures. If only for 30 minutes, I would have liked to rest because I had only slept a few hours because of the freezing temperatures.
Instead, I had to start packing my bags immediately and vacate my accommodations that I had paid for and had a right to stay in until the check out time that was stated in the listing and I had confirmed the night before. I will be filing a complaint with Airbnb. The worst Airbnb experience I have ever had to endure. I felt treated like I had just been evicted.
