I should start by noting that this host has multiple units in this complex, so thereâs a chance you wonât be staying in the same space I did (building 13). Upon arrival, the neighborsâ two dogs were barking loudly and continuouslyâfor hoursâand it didnât stop for the entire six days I was there. The walls are quite thin, and the noise was honestly so awful and stressful. When I brought this up to the host, I found it odd that he claimed it was the first time heâd ever heard of the issue, especially since the neighbors (and their dogs) clearly live there full-time.
Throughout my communication with the host, I often felt like he was just telling me what he thought I wanted to hear to brush me off, which wasnât helpful. The unit also didnât seem thoroughly cleanedâthere were long hairs all over, and I even found a small piece of glass beside the bed that ended up stuck in my foot.
On top of that, when it came time to check out, I received a long list of chores: run the dishwasher, take out the garbage, do laundry, etc. The hot tub was also closed when I arrived, which was disappointing.
Despite all this, I still enjoyed my timeâoutside the unitâbecause itâs a great location. But the most frustrating part was that, after all the noise and issues, the host voluntarily offered a refund for one nightâs stay. I didnât ask for itâhe brought it up. And yet, nearly three weeks later, heâs continued to message me vague reassurances with no sign of actually issuing the refund.
