I am a frequent Airbnb user, and this is the first negative review I have had to leave.
My husband and I arrived in Columbus at midnight and the host was very helpful in communicating where the parking is. However, when we got up to the apartment, there was a dank mildew smell as soon as we opened the door. I soon found out that it was because the bathroom was covered in mold. The floor of the bathroom was so dirty that I had to put the (stained) towels down just to be able to walk in the room, and the shower curtain was brown and black (it was supposed to be clear).
The location is good during the day, but at night I could hear every word someone said as they passed by the apartment, and, unfortunately, this apartment is located by all the college bars, so expect to hear screaming all night.
Luckily, I didn’t spend much time in the apartment, but when the downstairs candy shop (or nail salon—I’m not sure which one) opens, they turn on loud music that can very easily be heard in the apartment as well.
I can stay in an old apartment, or even a loud one for one night, but I couldn’t even shower at this place the bathroom was so disgusting. We tried to find new accommodations, but there was a golf tournament in town and Airbnb did not reply to us.
As we were packing up, the next guest arrived, which I found extremely odd as well. My faith in Airbnb really took a hit after this stay.
