The photos are very ‘done up’ and when we arrived we felt the place was a lot less premium than it looked in the photos. Like it needed a deep clean. Stains on the sofa and carpets, dirty windows and mug rings on the bedside tables. There was also a big pile of water outside of the bathroom oddly.
We’ve stayed in dozens of airbnb’s and know the drill on how to be respectful in other people’s properties. But the rules in this listing were a lot stricter than the standard. Such as removing your shoes before entering. We felt on edge the whole time.
We found the place visually private but most certainly not sound proof. We didn’t watch the tv so maybe that helps drown out the noise from downstairs but we were woken by baby cries and heard loud conversations past their own implemented curfew. Not the peaceful retreat we had hoped for when booking.
The location is great and parking was easy.
Upon leaving we were anxious to make sure everything was right, usually it naturally is and we don’t worry about it. We are clean and considerate people so would never leave somewhere unacceptable. But the stress of getting charged extras fees for not following their rules was a bit unnecessary. Especially considering a $200 cleaning fee was charged upon booking, yet we didn’t feel the place was fully clean to begin with.
For the price of this listing per night i’m sure some fresh flowers or a variety of teabags would be appreciated by guests.
