We made our reservation 9 months ago, only upon getting ready to check in do they then send you a form to sign about you needing to leave a 1,000.00 deposit, in case of damages, parties, more occupants, etc.
AS an Airbnb host myself, Why would they need this when Airbnb gives you insurance and holds a deposit? and is this even allowed?
The form even says you need to show up with cash, which I initially thought was a scam. But then they took our credit card.
Furthermore, it was just a hassle and if you didn't agree what do you do then? You are out front waiting for access in a place you have booked, and you are in a crunch, like where do I go? you are forced to accept it. and need to figure out how to sign and send back on your cell phone.
Other than that shenanigan, the place was great, other than the master bath not draining and there is no lip to hold in the water, so when I turned around the water from the shower had filled up the whole bedroom, which we had to use all the towels to soak up as to not ruin the hardwood floors, which upon closer look and with the water warped bathroom door, you could tell had happened many times.
It was a lot to handle as we were only there for 1 night -16 hours to be exact
Oh and while the place is huge (3 bedroom) the only toilet in the place is next to the front door, not one even in the master ensuite bathroom, you need to walk to the front door.
Very weird, and not ideal for someone that was looking for at least 2 bathrooms (with 2 toilets)
