Don't book this house.
Place was filthy. Carpets full of bits of food, hair and other uncomfirmable bits.
Dust and cobwebs hanging from ceiling.
Mouldy planter glasses (glasses that have plants in them that have gone mouldy)
And other cleanliness issues.
However, that isn't why I say not to say here. Owner Joan obviously hasn't had it in such a bad state before (based on most reviews) . So I would guess we were a one off. The issue is what Joan did when we told her about the issues.
First she said she would get cleaner in asap.
The it was "maybe in a few days"
Then it was "you just found one hair nothing is wrong I have never had an issue before"
After the above we said we wanted to leave early. Did not ask for a credit for the time we where there, just to leave and cancel so she could get the house back to a reasonable clean level. She said no. Dug her heels in and said we were making it up.
I believe issues happen and mistakes happen that our outside of hosts control. Those things I can be patient with. What is not OK is when a host doesn't put these issues right. That is terrible.
We sent Airbnb videos and they apologised after reviewing. Gave us a part credit for the nights we were there and refunded the balance of the booking. All while Joan refused to admit any fault. It was truly embarrassing to witness.
No doubt Joan will continue to blame the world and not herself and suggest there was nothing wrong. But Airbnbs actions post our videos to them are all the confirmation anyone should need to know just how bad it was.
Avoid.
