Unfortunately this was an extremely disappointing experience for us.
We booked Irena’s place for two nights so I could celebrate my birthday with a few other families. When we arrived we discovered the house was very unclean - the floor was sticky and dirty, the cutlery, tea towels and dish cloths were so dirty we had to wash them all before we could use them, and there was mouse poo on several of the beds. Some of the beds looked as though they hadn’t been remade since they were last slept in and the spare blankets smelled like they had been used for pets. The house was generally unclean and had evidently not been cleaned before our arrival.
We arrived in the evening and as we had several small children in our group we just had to clean up as best we could then put them to bed. We contacted Irena later that evening and she offered for us to move to another of her properties the next day. We packed all our families up in the morning and eventually got to the new property but discovered it did not have enough beds for our group. The guests on the adjoining property (also owned by Irena) then came to warn us they would be having a loud bachelor party all night. At this point we decided to cancel the trip and go home. By then we had spent several hours cleaning a property that should already have been clean, then packing everything up and moving our group around - what was supposed to be a relaxing celebration with friends became stressful and uncomfortable.
We assumed that Irena would refund our money as the property she rented to us was not habitable and the replacement she offered was not suitable; unfortunately she has refused to do that and we are now in a dispute process with Airbnb. Irena has only agreed to refund the cleaning fee, which we believe should never have been charged in the first place given the property had clearly not been cleaned. While we appreciated Irena’s offer of another property it ultimately was not suitable, and we felt that a full discount would be fair. We were willing to negotiate in good faith and accept one night’s discount instead, but Irena has refused. We have been left significantly out of pocket for a very disappointing and unsatisfactory experience and I cannot recommend Irena’s place to others.
I would also note that even if the property had been clean, I would consider it to be significantly over priced for what it is. I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
