This is the first negative review that I have ever had to write.
It truly was the worst experience with AirBnb, VRBO, or any rental that I have ever encountered.
I will start with the positives.
It is in a good location, has a nice little backyard patio, and was nicely decorated.
However, it was not clean. In fact, I had to scrub the shower before use.
There were crumbs on the kitchen counters and I even has to scrub the washer door and clean out the lint trap before doing laundry.
There were quite a few spider webs, and dust on the floors and stairs.
It was a last minute booking. We were still reserving Cedric’s house as we were driving up from Luxembourg and arrived after Cedric had left.
His AirBnb listing says, Paid parking on Premise & Paid parking on the street, which we found confusing, and Cedric was unable to clarify what that meant and where to park.
We later found out that he probably meant free parking on the street, and embellished about the on premise parking. Do not park on the lot adjacent to the door, it is commercial parking and they lock the door at 8pm.
When we walked into his place, we felt like we were intruding on someone’s house that was not expecting us. It is clearly not set up for AirBnb guests.
There was not one hanger or drawer available to put our things in. Not even the large coat rack when you enter the house. It was completely full. Here we are in a fairly large house, living out of our suitcases.
The night we arrived, it was cold, we couldn’t figure out how to work the heat.
Like the parking situation, his response to me was unclear. I asked him about specifics to try and understand what he meant, but no response. It was a Friday night, so I figured he was with his family and that we would hear back the next day. Nope, that was the very last response we had from him for the entire 5 days! I even tried a couple of days later to ask about the TV. He would not respond.
Instructions on heat & parking are important, how to operate the TV would be nice. He could easily have this written down along with his set of rules not to use any wine glasses and buy your own soap for the dishwasher.
