This property wasn’t cleaned properly and and had a very strong, unpleasant smell in the living area. There were dead flies and dust on the windowsills, several large, old dog poos in the courtyard area, the outdoor furniture was covered in cobwebs. I brought the pedestal fan downstairs to use the night we got there and discovered it was absolutely caked with dust. There were greasy fingerprints on the microwave and just a general lack of cleanliness and care. I always read reviews before booking and only book places with good feedback. I also generally aim to stay with superhosts. Tyson ticked both of these boxes on paper, so I was very surprised to have the experience we had. I don’t know what went wrong behind the scenes, but something did. In my experience, hosts will leave often leave something extra for guests on arrival, I’ve had notes, chocolate, wine, cheese etc. I don’t expect this, but it was in stark contrast to what we arrived to at this property which was a very unpleasant smell and several cans of fly-spray left out in each of the rooms. I’ve also stayed in several pet friendly places and they have all been beautifully presented and clean, so I don’t think this can be excused by the fact that the property is pet friendly. The smell was so strong that we didn’t feel comfortable sitting in the living room, and the TV in the second living area didn’t work so the only place left to sit and watch TV was the bedroom. We notified the host of these issues and received no response. We also called him on two occasions to discuss and on both he said he’d call back and didn’t. A really disappointing experience and a costly one too.
