The reason for this review is for twofold:
1. The ‘fast wifi’ only worked 5-10% of the time (basically we had no wifi besides the TV working). We reached out to the host about this issue but unfortunately it wasn’t resolved during our stay and we had to resort to using up our data on our phone plans which wasn’t ideal.
2. The accommodation wasn’t clean at all. I’m talking no sheets on one of the beds, no pillow cases, dirty/dusty floors, old dirty socks that weren’t ours, melted plastic in the oven and a marijuana blunt half smoked and sitting in the phone on the wall.
While on our end as guests, we were late in bringing these issues up to our host (as it added up slowly until it really hit us how unclean the accommodation was), before I had even contacted Airbnb about the issues our host had already contacted Airbnb and complained about our delay in informing him about the state of the accommodation. While I understand the hosts concerns I found it to be extremely unprofessional to try and put the blame on the guest instead of simply facing the truth of the issue: the cleaner assigned to clean the accommodations did not clean the accommodation and that is not the guests fault, even if they were late to report the problem.
I had never been in a situation like this before and now know that part of my check in process will the thoroughly checking the accommodations (including opening the oven and checking behind the wall phone).
I hope that this experience does not happen to any future guests, and that this honest review will ensure that going forward the accommodation is ALWAYS clean for guests and has wifi that actually works.
Other than these two issues the location was great and we still managed to make the most of our stay and have a great time. I’m hopeful that going forward others will not have the same experience. All and all, thanks for the experience, it’s certainly a story to tell!
