COMPLAINT AGAINST ANYA CURTIS AND ANYARENTALS.COM

I HAD A RECENT BAD EXPERIENCE RENTING WHAT IS ADVERTISED AS A HIGHER-END CONDO IN ST. PETERSBURG RUSSIA. THE RENTING AGENCY AND CONDO OWNER, ANYA CURTIS OF ANYARENTALS.COM, ADVERTISES THIS CONDO ON VRBO.COM AS A 2 BEDROOM, 1 BATH. IT IS ACTUALLY ONLY A 1 BEDROOM WITH 2 RIDICULOUS LOFTS. IT IS IN MY OPINION A DUMP.

FORGETTING THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO ENTER THROUGH A DARK FILTHY UNLIT ALLEY, THE HALLWAYS ARE DIRTY: THEY ARE PRACTICALLY IMPASSABLE BECAUSE OF TOYS, SACKS OF CONCRETE AND JUNK. THE APARTMENT IS DEPLORABLE. IT SMELLS AND IS INFESTED WITH COCKROACHES. THE BED IS DESCRIBED AS A NEW ONE PURCHASED FROM A MARRIOTT BEDDING SUPPLIER. PERHAPS IT WAS PURCHASED USED. TO TAKE A SHOWER YOU MUST ENDURE THE STINK OF ROTTEN EGGS. YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE DESCRIPTION ON THE WEBSITE. YOU WOULD THINK YOU WERE RENTING A BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT.

I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW BAD THE PLACE IS. THE ONLY THING THAT IS TRUE IS THE GOOD LOCATION. UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP ME THERE. DUE TO THE CONDITION I WAS FORCED TO MOVE OUT AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT. WE WOULD HAVE GONE IMMEDIATELY BUT COULD NOT FIND A HOTEL WITH 2 ROOMS AVAILABLE. IT REALLY RUINED THE TRIP AS WELL AS CAUSING ME EMBARASSMENT SINCE I HAD 2 INVITED GUESTS.

I REQUESTED A REFUND BUT MY REQUEST WAS REJECTED.

IF ANYONE HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH ANYARENTALS.COM PLEASE EMAIL ME AT Email User IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE PHOTOS OR MORE INFO, PLEASE CONTACT ME. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO BE RIPPED OFF LIKE I WAS.

I too have had a bad experience with Anya Curtis. She is a very dishonest person and will do anything to make some money off you. I would avoid her at all cost!

All the above information is correct. I have had a lot of experience with Anya Curtis and I have found her to be a liar and crook. I have also seen this apartment and it is as bad as the above explains. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ANYA CURTIS... she will cheat you!

Information is INCORRECT - please see actual photos at www.leningrad.cc

Above person placed the complaint as he wanted to get out of paying for the rental.

There is also a condition / price difference between Russia and the US. Lodging that goes in the US for $100 / night costs $2000 / in Russia. Above property was $75 or so a night and one couldn't have expected much of anything!
