LA AirBnb Fiasco

Let us start from the top. It's Friday and I arrive in downtown LA via surfliner before my other 4 friends arrive. We are all in town for a Euphonic Presents event where Emancipator, Mr. Carmack, Ardalan, Polish Ambassador, Yheti, etc. will be playing. I had myself a fun little journey to the Airbnb and took a Lime scooter from the train station, unemployed and very few cares in the world.

The Airbnb we booked was already questionable at best before entering- the amount of documents provided for check in, tedious instructions including registering all guests and needing to check them in with building security, required to provide photo ID prior to checking in, required to check in with security and show ID, a lot of reiteration on "this is not a hotel, people live in this building", threats of incurring fees if noise complaints are given, confusing verbiage for parking, etc, already had me on edge about the Airbnb. Originally the group max was 4 but one of my best friends Mia realized she would be able to attend and the Airbnb refuses any guest over 4 and she missed the registration period so we already had an added stress on figuring out how to get her up to the room without any hassle from security.

That first evening was great, we managed to get all of us into and out of the room several times before we needed to get ready for dinner - still had to go up to the room in groups of 2 and 3 so as to not draw suspicion because security was indeed checking in names and the room we were in. Thankfully none of us even needed to show ID's to security but we realized that when they change out for shifts, we may run into troubles because we'd have to reiterate that we are all checked in. The host uses this app called August that connects the deadbolt to a piece of technology that unlocks the deadbolt. We had no issues locking and unlocking the door up until 10 pm the first night.

We have an absolute blast at the event, getting attention from so many men that could tell we weren't from LA (bc I guess LA women do no give dudes the time of day). Our friend Ardalan actually played the event and to avoid issues with security at the Airbnb my friend Mia and I decide to get a head start back to the space. As we are walking out of the event we bump into Ardalan and he invited us to a little after hang in downtown LA and we figured why not, we assumed the other girls were going to stay awhile longer.

We pull up to the spot and it's literally 0.2 miles from our Airbnb, perfect. The second we get into the space and take a shot Mia and I get calls and texts from every one of the other girls asking where we are and that they're locked out of the Airbnb... they're livid at us. Of course, our bad, we definitely should have communicated what we were up to, especially since I am the only person with the app and the key to get us in the room. We walk back to the Airbnb to the girls pissed and sitting in the hall outside of the room - my friend Rileigh is stressed and has to piss. I use the August app, hold it up to the door, I hear the lock working, the app turns green and indicates that it is unlocked, I reach for the handle, the knob turns, and I am met with a firmly locked door. I try again, the app says it's locked, the app says it's unlocked, I try the door again.... it is still locked. *queue panic* We realize the app and the lock is not working. We go downstairs to talk to security who informs us he can't help unless there is instruction from the host. Mind you, it is nearly 5 am. I message the host but we all assume we're locked out until he wakes up which could be several more hours.

At this time, all 5 of us are nearly at each others throats in the lobby because two of them were still insanely mad and blaming Mia and I for this misfortune. In that moment, I got my period. There's no bathroom in the lobby and I start pacing around trying to decide if I just free bleed on the floor or find a place to put a tampon in. I end up going outside on the sidewalk to put in a tampon... this is where we are at (lol).

Since we aren't getting a response from the host, Mia and I present that we go over to this spot right around the corner we were invited to so we can hang out and be safe while we wait for the host to wake up. The three that were mad and Mia and I are dragging their feet and are still pissed at us. We decide to walk over to the other spot. The guys there were so accommodating and the space was beautiful, they were giving us drinks and free k bumps. Finally the girls warm up to the cards that were dealt and have a great time with these guys. Lowkey... Mia and my frowned upon sidequest was the savior of the night.

From the stress and the cramps I knowingly put myself into a k hole and let everyone else deal with the host as he finally wakes up around 6:30. He's telling us the app says the door is unlocked on his end. I come to from my k-hole and walk back to the Airbnb with Monica who has been nothing but a saint this whole time, she went full project manager mode on everyone trying her damndest to get us in our room. We walk up to the room, the app does the same thing... connects to the device and sounds like it's working but the door is still locked shut. We go down and ask security to please help us. He comes upstairs and who the fuck even knows what he does but uses a card, a coin, and strength, and with all his jimmying he heard a noise and said with hope in his eye - try it now. I try the app and for fuck sake we get in the room... finally.... at 7:45 am.

The host tells us he's "sorry for the inconvenience" then lets us know if we want ANY refund we pack up and leave now.... at 8 am after being on the streets all fucking night. We end up passing out and wake up to a locksmith banging on our door at noon. Dude fucks with the lock, screws some things, whatever, and he got it to work again. The lock was operational via the app as far as I could tell. We are so exhausted we don't muster energy to go to the buildings pool until almost 4 pm. We lock the door, walk 5 steps and realize we forgot the pool key, we go back to the room..... the app and lock IS NOT WORKING AGAIN.

Longest story short the host finally sends someone over to give us a physical key for the space but at this point, our stay is, while eventful... has somewhat ruined all our Saturday plans due to lack of sleep. I go back and forth with the host and Airbnb for weeks after our stay attempting to get a refund to which Airbnb says in their policy the host did everything he could and therefore there is no evidence to support a refund. The host questioned my intelligence, blamed intoxication, made up stories, and in general tried to make the whole situation seem to be a dumb bitch user error and not a serious mechanical issue with his lock.

Toward the end there it felt like a sex and class war... this dude (host) in a position of power that clearly has money (two units in this building he rents out) being defensive and blaming ME for the issues we had. He assumed I'd write a nasty review and said because of that his team (yes, this fuck has an entire team that still was unable to get us into the unit Friday night) would not provide a refund.

Airbnb also told me at the beginning of the week a refund would not be possible so I went ahead and wrote my review for the host. Straightforward and factual. I woke up to a message from Airbnb yesterday that said they would bring the case to someone higher up that may be able to help.... after telling me MULTIPLE times the case was closed. I literally am never using Airbnb again... between this and learning about their policies supporting apartheid and illegal displacement of Palestinians, I am more than done with their services.

Idk if anyone made it this far but if you did... kudos. Part of me wants to record myself telling the whole story as I'm sure it would be more entertaining.
