Recent issues in different cities- are these minor or major?

Oven display stays at blinking zeros even when turned on
Bathroom doorknobs (both) do not lock
Cold water faucet on tub/shower does not work (one bathroom)

Eta- superhosts with great reviews

Minor issue if you have the whole place to your group.

Depends on if the hot water is too hot to shower. Not being able to shower at all would be a major issue.

Eh, I’d say somewhat depends. While not an actual issue as far as just looking at it, cause could be from an electrical issue that could be a more major issue. I wouldn’t want to be dealing with someone’s oven that may have an internal electrical issue while I’m using it. If it’s just a control panel issue, it also shouldn’t take anything at all to get it fixed. So why not fix it?

Maybe I’m petty but if I’m paying for a place to stay it better be as advertised.

Of the things you listed the cold/hot water issue would be my highest complaint. Locking bathroom doors could be a bigger issue if staying with others.

Minor issue

Weird and colorful whigs hanging from the middle of the bed frame, underneath the bed, in each bedroom
Major issue

Minor if water temp is fine, major if it only sends out scalding hot water

just sent a quick message to owner so they would know it was an issue. Replied it had been broken 2 years. That kinda made me shake my head in a wtf way.

same reason to report/claimed no one has said anything/it is a 4 bedroom 2 bath large house and was a multifamily situation for us with a 2 year old who can open doors and doesnt understand why they shouldn't. We made it work but it was slightly inconvenient. Big laughs when a wife opened door on hubs pooping and he screamed no, no,no.

hot was definitely too hot. Also claimed no one had said anything yet there was a shut off valve turned off (claw foot tub). Surely your cleaner would have said something?

We will continue to stay at airbnbs because of ability to hang out and visit multigenerational but it would be great of they reinvested in upkeep. Trade off of living room and dining room/kitchen offsets stripping beds or taking out trash. We keep the place clean while there anyway.

Major issue is the fees that they charge. Really a minor issue to figure out how to get to the host directly to cut out the fees!
