#39: Pretty as a Picture
Airbnb listings have some pretty nice photos but don’t always believe what you see. This person and her friend booked a space that looked gorgeous and clean in the photos. When they arrived, it was anything but! There were dirty dishes in the sink, crumbs everywhere, and rotten food in the fridge. Don’t even get us started on how dirty the bathroom was.
The space was so dirty and nasty that the two of them agreed they couldn’t stay even one night. When they complained to the host and asked for a refund, he refused. They ended up booking a hotel last minute and tried to forget the whole experience– until the host left them a bad review. The host said they “tampered” with his stuff and expected a “Ritz Hotel experience.” Wow, I didn’t realize basic cleanliness is considered a luxury.
