The “Barbie House” — Misleading Listing in a Dangerous, Miserable Location. AC claim IS misleading
Avoid the “Barbie House” at all costs. The listing claims it has AC—what it actually has is a single portable unit in the hallway that does almost nothing. By 7 p.m., the house was sweltering and miserable. One of the fans was broken, missing blades, and useless. I tried to fix it for over an hour. We had no relief from the heat. When my partner finally lost her mind, i knew we hard to get out. Worse, the neighborhood is extremely unsafe. I live in Sacramento and should’ve researched better, but nothing could’ve prepared me for the chaos outside: loud music blasting from a nearby bar until 2–3 a.m., people urinating, using drugs, fighting. A woman even screamed her husband pulled a knife—right outside our window.At midnight, we packed up and checked into a hotel. I told the host why we left early, and his response was basically “tough luck.” No refund, no accountability, no professionalism.Sure, the house looks cute online, but it’s all surface. The fridge barely shuts, windows don’t open right, water pressure is awful, and the entire place feels cheap and worn down. You’re better off at a hotel where it’s safe, cool, and quiet.This listing is misleading and borderline dangerous. Don’t fall for the pink paint—this was one of the worst stays I’ve ever had
