The place itself was very comfortable with some great amenities, and we had really enjoyed ourselves while it lasted. The disconcerting part however were the hosts showing up unannounced. They arrived at the property with no prior communication, informing us we had broken a house rule of bringing a dog and demanded we vacate within 15 minutes. Whilst we fully acknowledge and apologise for our mistake our issue is with the host's actions which were in violation of our privacy:
1. The hosts showed up to the property without any prior communication.
2. One of the hosts stepped into the house without introducing who he was or us inviting him in. It felt intimidating, intrusive and a vulnerable situation to be in.
3. They claimed that a neighbour saw a dog on the property. We feel uneasy to think that a neighbour was paying attention to our activities and question how they knew to look out for and alert about a dog.
We don't want to detract from the positive comments, we do believe a lot of hard effort has been put into making this place a lovely home. We just want to make it clear that hosts showing up unannounced is inappropriate and against Airbnb's policies and hope it is not done to guests in the future.
