We booked a stay here for my 40th birthday weekend and our first trip outside of the Okanagan post Covid restrictions. The home itself is beautiful! It’s beautifully decorated, the location is fantastic, and the front yard and neighbourhood are absolutely lovely.
One thing to note is that the home is the family’s primary residence, so closets and cupboards and dressers and things are all full… Not a huge deal, but something I didn’t fully realize when booking.
We did receive a message from Jessica just before checking in that said that she had realized how dirty the carpets were while preparing for our arrival, but “such is life with two kids” or something to that effect. Unfortunately, beyond the carpets, the home just was not as clean as you’d expect an Airbnb to be. :/ The floors left the bottoms of our feet black and full of crumbs, the inside of the fridge was covered in pink sticky goop and had a significant amount of food still in it, the countertops had a substance hardened onto them, the walls were dirty, the sofas had stains on them, there was blood on one of the mattress protectors, etc…. Basically lots of little things that just don’t add up to a comfortable stay.
I did communicate our concerns to Jessica and she said she’d work on cleaning in the coming months, but unfortunately we paid a $200 cleaning fee to have to clean the house upon arrival and then again before leaving.
