The home is located in a good area very close to downtown. The room was basic but clean.
We had 2 main issues that resulted in us not staying either of the 2 nights we booked.
After check in, we quickly left to head to a friends wedding event. We returned home close to midnight tired and ready for bed. However, the host was throwing a large birthday party. There were many people both inside and outside the home. The bathroom for our use was now not clean after, we assume, being open to the many house party guests.
In addition, the temperare in the home was set to 81 degrees. We asked our host to put the AC on and make it comfortably colder and she refused to do so. We told her it was 1. An uncomfortable temperature to sleep in and 2. Would require us to keep the windows open which did not allow us quiet or privacy from the party guests outside. Because it seemed there was no option to kick on AC, that sealed our choice to find a last second hotel at 12:30am.
We are big lovers of Airbnb and are hosts ourself. We respect the challenges of being a host, but feel in this situation that we were not respected as guests. The host should be up front next time about no AC in the hot, humid Florida heat and should mention the house party to guests as a warning and better yet not host a party when guests are paying to stay.
