The owners of this place were really lovely and kind. BUT, beware of Jellis Craig Short Stays. They tried to make us sign an extra contract with extra fees outside of the AirBnb platform - this was after we’d already paid for the full accommodation amount through AirBnb. The contract they externally sent us seemed like a very generic one they must copy and paste for all their short stays. In that contract was the request for a very excessive bond (almost the same as the entire fee for staying), an extra booking fee of $200, and potentially extra cleaning fees if things were left out of place. This was all external to the cleaning and booking fees we’d already paid for through our AirBnb booking.
We contacted AirBnb support about this as it didn’t seem right… AirBnb support said that the extra contract and fees Jellis Craig Short Stays requested were against the AirBnb terms of service and we could ignore them. So hopefully that is something they stop doing after dealing with us… if not, don’t be afraid to gently say something!
(Also, thanks to AirBnb support for being super helpful during this!)
