I guess there are only the very good reviews here about Rose.... PLEASE read this before booking a room !
Rose's place is very nice, very clean, beautiful house and great decoration taste. Nothing to complain about that. But, be cautious : "You are NOT SUPPOSED to use the kitchen, or ANY kitchen pots or pans". This is what Rose told me on the phone the last day, just before checkin out, when the cleaning lady called her to say I was using a pan for breakfast.. I used just a pan to toast my bread that morning (her toaster looked like a mini oven and I didn't know it was a toaster). No notes anywhere told NO USE OF THE KITCHEN OR ANYTHING IN THE KITCHEN. I felt so embarrassed and she made me feel really bad in presence of the cleaning lady and the person who rents her place since over one month. The pictures on her profil said "use of table and chairs" in the kitchen. Ups, sorry !
So dear travelers, if you want to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, because no food either in the rooms (which I completely understand), bring your own dishes, pots and pans in your suitcases...lol... and know that you won't be allowed to heat up or cook food. ONLY KITCHEN TABLE AND CHAIRS. Camera's watching you from the living room....maybe even other cameras...
Rose also watches quite loud her gigantic stereo home cinema TV with loudspeakers til late nights. She does NOT care at all about her guests trying to sleep in their rooms.... I see her as quite selfish and self centered person who likes to show her beautiful house but makes you feel at HER house....
Another quite embarrassing situation:
One morning I found 2 little chocolate hearts on the kitchen table. Since I read Rose's reviews before booking a room and I could read that she offered chocolates to some guests, I thought they might be for me. I wrote a message to Rose to thank her for the chocolate hearts if they were really for me. She had no scrupules to say : "food/chocolates are for ME". Okay... Ups again.... I felt SO embarrassed and thank God I did not eat them and let them on the table and I never ate her food.... I had mine in the fridge, but after all what happened, I am starting to think maybe I was not even allowed to put my food in the fridge as it is in all Airbnb's.
Last but not least. Checkout time was 11:00 am. At 8:30 am the cleaning lady (which by the way was a very nice and joyful person) arrived and wanted already to clean my room. Thank God, I was up and having breakfast. I told her checkout is supposed to be at 11:00 am. She took off the sheets of my bed. Once I was back in my room "trying to get ready" to leave, she knocked at the door to know if I was ready. In the meantime, it was only
9:15 am... I felt really pressured and like I had to leave NOW.
So NO, Rose is NOT this so nice, caring, compassionate, thoughtful, warm, amazing person I could read in the reviews. And I was a quiet, discreet and clean person (I even washed one morning her dishes left in the sink from the night before) and NO you are NOT ALLOWED to use other places or facilities in the house like one person wrote, JUST your room, shared bathroom and kitchen table, and this is what Rose told me on the phone the day I left. Thank God I never even thought about sitting on her couch. I went always straight from my room to the bathroom or to the kitchen to eat my food.... Rose made me really feel guilty and I felt humiliated, the way she was with me.
And guess what : She told me I was welcome to stop at her place whenever I wanted.
SURE....lol !
So were are the honest reviews... ?
Maybe they never appear....
