I really wanted to like this place but there were a lot of reasons that my group felt this was not worth the money we paid to stay. In fact, we avoided being in the house.
1. I emailed the host three times and left a voicemail (beginning a week in advance) to ask for a set of sheets (which we had to pay extra for), and just never heard back. I had a friend visiting & was super embarrassed when I had to tell him we didn’t have sheets for him. I got a text the day after we arrived from the host, but it was too late.
2. The second we walked into the house there was a bad smell that we all noticed, which made us feel like we were camping. A general dampness that, mixed with an old house, just wasn’t pleasant. We ended up leaving the house all day to avoid sitting in it.
3. The shower was leaking the whole time, which was loud. The bathroom door was damaged. The screens had holes in them so the mosquitos would fly in if we had the glass doors open.
4. There is a passive aggressive note on the fridge to the guests that says: “Also it is not cleaners responsibility for dishes. No you didn’t find them in dishwasher.” Not professional or welcoming when I’m paying hundreds of dollars to stay. (It would be simple to say “please empty the dishwasher and clean all dishes on departure.”)
We wouldn’t stay here again.
