This was by far my worst Airbnb experience. Initially I had planned to stay for 3 weeks for work however I left after 2 weeks due to numerous issues. I wish I had left sooner.
Firstly, check in was stated as only available after 5pm, however the host was not going to be available at that time, yet said she would be in bed by 6:30 - leaving me to try and check myself in, whilst it was dark. Additionally, there was no self-check/key lock box, which was outlined in the listing (this would also later affect my stay). Once inside, the shelves in my room were extremely dusty, there were cobwebs throughout the room and the bedding provided had pet fur on it. The shower was dirty as well as the shower curtain being old and stained. The laundry itself was also a mess - paw prints, dirt and dried cat food on the surfaces. To add to the growing list of unclean areas - the hosts senior dog was incontinent and left pee puddles throughout the house. The hosts solution to this was for puddles to be covered by newspaper. As a polite guest, I attempted to put some paper-towel (when i could not fine newspaper) over the puddles, host proceeded to come into my room where she swore at me claiming the paper-towel sticks to the floor. To add to the swearing and yelling at me - she blamed me for poor communication even-though she could not remember clear conversations we had - specifically she was upset over me not riding her horses, I had said I would be far too busy to ride them yet she completely forgot that we had that conversation (this is just one of the many examples of conversations she did not remember). Overall, host was rude and unfriendly. The last straw for me in this stay was when the host was away for a weekend and had not turned off her Airbnb bookings which allowed new guests to book in at 10:30pm. As mentioned above there was no lockbox for a key, I had to let them in, provide them with blankets and towels and give them a tour of the stay. The following night the host sent me a message saying there may or may not be more guests staying and could I leave the door open. As a guest myself, it is not my responsibility to have to provide a 'host-like' experience to other guests. If the Airbnb can not function without a host there, the host should remove it from being available. This is an example of an extremely poorly run Airbnb, I do not recommend this listing. I wish i had read the previous reviews stating the problems with this listing - it would have saved me from having such a dreadful experience.
