BEWARE OF A TERRIBLE HOST!!!
I was in town because my brother passed away and needed a place where family could gather for meals.
First clue that I shouldn’t have booked this house should have been the other terrible reviews from previous guests.
Second clue should have been the check-in email from the host that said “AirBnB punishes hosts that don’t get 5-star reviews .” Build a relationship before you try to guilt me.
Third clue should have been this condition, lack of security, and lack of cleanliness of the house.
Fourth clue should have been the TERRIBLE/unusable condition of the nonstick pots/pans when they only provide metal cooking utensils.
Fifth clue should have been the overall lackluster condition of the home.
Well, I ignored those. What I got was an Airbnb that embodied the 5 qualities above, a home with a broken garbage disposal, a home with an unusable dishwasher and sink, a home that dumped 3-4 gallons minimum on the kitchen floor because of the clogged garbage disposal, a home with a door on the first floor that has a gap so large that there is no privacy when you are in the bathroom, an owner who blamed everything on me when I spent 2-hours trying to help his staff with pictures and explanations of property condition instead of planning my brother’s funeral. Deanna (company worker) told me they’d get me usable pots/pans, reimburse me for those I bought, send a handyman to fix the sink/dishwasher/garbage disposal/flood. The handyman was sent but none of the other promises were fulfilled. Then the owner tried to erroneously charge me an additional $100 for a stained sheet and keeps accusing me of having a pet there (I don’t even have any pets).
I left this house and stayed at another Airbnb that was fantastic and where I had absolutely no issues and where I got another 5-star review (and still didn’t have any pets).
As my and the other reviews show, this host doesn’t keep his homes in a quality state, immediately launches into an accusatory state when the guest brings up an issue, and leaves the guest in a worse position.
