I'm at this airbnb that i booked for almost 3 weeks, the host was really nice, but the place is honestly shit. It has this odd lingering smell that i can't stand, and its dirty despite reviews saying it was clean. The room is cold, the shower water is barely warm. The bed has hairs and tiny bugs in it. The area around the hotel is also full of junkies and crazy people. I feel so uncomfortable here. It says i can cancel and get a partial refund, i've only been here for 2 days so I would get like 80% back whcih i would use to book a hotel like Marriot or Hilton for a week and get smashed. Do I just hit the cancel button, leave the keys and bail without saying a word?? is there anything the host can do to come after or charge me extra money. I'm never coming back to this town again (it's fucking awful as well) and will probably never use airbnb again.
>>2854649>Do I just hit the cancel button, leave the keys and bail without saying a word??No. You cancel and send him a cordial message with photos to support your actions. Tell him you won't leave a review since you stayed a short time, if you feel bad.
>>2854649And take your own side. You should be valuing yourself, being an advocate of yourself and ensuring you get what you deserve and also the best.
>>2854649don't hesitate, get out and report the host to airbnb, take lots of pictures as proof and communicate as the other poster said, you need to stand up for yourself sometimes, shitty hosts are a blight
>>2854649>The bed has hairs and tiny bugs in it.take a bunch of pictures/videos and then get the fuck out.
>>2854649Brother, the moment you see bed bugs, get the fuck out. Crime and junkies are bad but bed bugs are worse. They have some weird effect where you'll wake up months or even years from now, panicking and thinking that they're biting you. They wreck your brain.Cancel and get the refund. There's a good chance those bugs will get inside your luggage, and if that happens, you're fucked for life. They're harder to get rid of than cockroaches. They're resistant to basically any poison and they can hibernate without food for a full fucking year.
This happened to me twice in a year with airbnb, this is why I no longer use the app. Hotels are safer, cheaper, and there's less bullshit drama like this.Also bedbugs are worse than your worst nightmare, strongly consider burning everything you have with you and don't take it home with you, trust me it will be FAR CHEAPER to replace what you're traveling with than to deal with a bedbug infestation at your home.
>>2854668You just move out if that happens. Move, leave all your shit on the curb (wrap it in plastic so the city doesn't ticket you for spreading those things), check into a hotel, get clothes delivered from amazon, keep them in a sealed bag, put your old clothes in a plastic bag, take a shower, put on the new clothes without touching any of your old shit, and take your bagged old stuff to the garbage chute.
