When reading the online reviews, I now know why there are so many that are "positive". On the welcome note they ask each guest to please leave a 5-star rating and positive review. On the checkout punch list, they beg you once again to please leave a 5-star rating/positive review regardless of the experience and to message privately regarding any negative feedback, but that would be deceitful if I didn't state the truth. My family and I stayed at this Airbnb in Hollywood FL this past week. I was hesitant to book it because it wasn't the fanciest and seemed to be so small but we wanted to be close to other family members. The overall experience was ok, but the owner really needs to invest in quality furniture especially the bedroom furniture. The bed in the fourth and third bedrooms were broken from we got there, I notified the host (as it stated in the rules) and she only said thanks, she never sent anyone by to fix the problem. The blanket was stained, the sofa or as she calls it a "sofa bed" in the room needs to be put straight in the dump, it's so cheap and awful, it's basically on the ground without legs and not comfortable at all. Also, there wasn’t even an outside trash bin, we were told to pile up the trash by the shed, however that didn't seem to be the best option, so we were forced to place the trash in our vehicle to discard in a nearby bin.

We were better off in a nice hotel because that was surely a waste of money! I purchased a sleeping bag to sleep on the ceramic flooring opposed to the bed, the floor was more comfortable than the cheap beds in that place. The bathtub is old and has no grip, so it poses a slip and fall risk. A tub mat should be placed in it. The "fancy" digital code lock malfunctioned locking us in the house, spoiling that day's plan by forcing one guest to remain at home for security reasons since we all had to exit out the back door. We were able to contact the host and then received a spare code and was told where to find a key in event the spare code doesn't work as well. The best thing in that house was the Samsung refrigerator, Samsung washer, and Samsung dryer. I haven't seen such an old stove in a very long time, the knobs on it were so loose that in passing a light brush against it, turned the stove on which also posed a hazard a few times. The place was poorly constructed, there are so many hazards that can potentially cause grievous bodily harm. It's not a safe place for young kids or elderly. There is a weird unidentified step from the kitchen leading to the additional bedrooms and laundry area that posed as a tripping hazard throughout our stay, absolutely no signage alerting you to watch your step. We had a few persons trip and fall until we got used to the hazard. By law, any change of elevation in a commercial operation must be identified visually. I would recommend an identifying strip or some sort of signage to identify level changes. There are so many issues with that house. The walls and doors were dirty/stained from heavy traffic as expected with a rental facility but can use a touch up of paint. The cabinet drawer was jammed. I wrote out a full-page list and took so many photos and videos to provide to the host. Not sure if it will make a difference though because it was too obvious that they do not do repairs regularly, since she didn’t seem surprised when I mentioned the broken bed nor did she offer any assistance to send someone over to fix it. After realizing the number of repairs that were needed, especially to the cheap furnishings I just decided to document everything and take photos instead of messaging her for each thing. I rate this place a 1 and only because I can't rate it any lower. The absolute worse paid stay I have ever experienced! Should never be a place that you must pay to stay, in fact Airbnb derived from the bed and breakfast concept and at a minimum it should have a comfortable bed to lay in. With the broken bed/s, this house does not meet the bare minimum requirements as an Air Bed and Breakfast. In fact, she should have paid us to stay there to identify all the house’s shortfalls. Just awful
