Linda U.

This rental was a colossal disappointment. It was dark, tired, poorly decorated, very old, smelly (like mildew) and is in need of a complete overhaul if it is to be ever rented to anymore. The refrigerator even has rust on the outside of it. We left the door keys on the kitchen counter and contacted the host to tell her that we could not stay in the unit and wanted our money back, because of the poor quality and misrepresentation of this unit. It ruined our entire time in Carpinteria and made us skeptical of renting anything else in a similar building and certainly not ever considering a rental in that same building complex. We felt that this should’ve been 100% better quality than what it actually was, particularly because we paid a significant amount of money for three nights at the outset. This was truly a horrible experience.
