DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
I’ve never been so miserable to retreat back to our residence. Our issues began on the second day of our trip, where we found a dying cockroach in our living room. Of course, we were appalled by this, but we disposed of the insect and subsequently contacted our hosts to make them aware. The hosts responded by saying that they would send over a cleaning service, however, we declined as we felt that it was unnecessary, seeing as we got rid of the cockroach already. A few days later, a second cockroach was found in the kitchen, this one was also half dead. Once again, we disposed of the cockroach. A few days after that, we found a live cockroach crawling beneath our dining table, for the third time in the same week, we killed and disposed of the cockroach. By this point, we were extremely concerned for our wellbeing and hygiene. We constantly felt anxious that we would encounter another insect, with the possibility that they would enter into our personal belongings and/or our food. Once again, we expressed our concerns to our hosts. Our hosts responded by offering us a cleaning service once again, they also tried to convince us that Florida has native insects which they cannot avoid. We inquired with other Airbnb hosts that we met throughout our time in Florida, they assured us that this was not the case, and that these conditions were absolutely unacceptable. Nonetheless, we felt as though we had no other choice, so we accepted the service. The following day, a man came to the residence to fumigate our unit. Following the fumigation, we found two more live cockroaches, one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. At this point, we were furious and we contacted our hosts once more. We spoke to our neighbours who told us that there was a cockroach infestation a few months back, so there has clearly been an ongoing issue. Furthermore, there were fruit flies all around our unit from the beginning of our stay until the end of our stay, the tiles in the bathroom were lifted and grout was dispersed on the ground, we also found a centipede in our bedroom.
