While the home is very beautiful and had everything we needed, we had a few concerns about some of the practices at this airbnb surrounding renting vehicles. This airbnb is located pretty far from everything so we asked the property manager, Tony, about renting a car as we had been told this was offered as a service to guests. We were told the only available car would be $70 a day. Later that day, we specifically asked about renting the Dodge Caliber, and were told that it was in fact available, but that Tony had not thought it would be good for our plans as we had mentioned we MIGHT drive to ATM cave (but had no definite plans to do so yet). There is a big difference between a car not being available and not being appropriate, and we felt that we were being lied to about the availability to get us to spend more money. We decided to go forward with renting the Caliber, as we had been told it would cost $50 a day, which was a better fit for our budget. Tony told us that the price would actually be $60 now because of "fuel prices" even though the car only had an eighth of a tank of gas when we got it and we were required to pay to put more gas in. He ended up letting us have the car at $50 a day after we showed him the message from when we booked the home in February, but this added to our mistrust. Additionally, when we received the car it had a number of maintenance lights on and on occasion after stopping to get gas, took three tries to get the engine to start. Then, when it was time to return the car, we had been told to simply leave it in the driveway and someone would come get it. Instead, we get a call from Tony that morning asking us if we can drive the car to a parking lot and meet someone there who would take the car and then drive us back to the airbnb. When we arrived at the parking lot, the business was closed so the parking lot was chained off and no one was there. We ended up driving around the area, until we found the guy, and stopped on the side of a busy highway to exchange the car.
Additionally, we decided to cook in the home to save some money. We had everything we needed to do so, which was nice, however within a few days we started to notice that there were ants everywhere.
Overall, the airbnb was very nice, but it is incredibly difficult to be in a new place and feel like you cannot trust the person who is supposed to be there to help you.
