I came to Tassin in the middle of January, it was very cold. Grateful to hosts for meeting me at 2am, it was nice of them. House is in the great location. The house is probably perfect for summertime, but not winter. generally my experience in the house wasn’t pleasant. I have impression that house wasn’t prepared at all for my arriving. It was extremely cold(don’t recommend to rent it in winter), a lot of dust on the surfaces, and my biggest scare are Spiders! Giant spiders on the sealing, floor, walls, in the bathroom every morning new spider, under the furniture loads of web and on the walls and everywhere. I had to fully tidy the place myself. Also the host once had complained about me using the heating too much, it was winter and on days when I didn’t use the heating I was wearing my coat and few pairs of socks. The equipment in the house was broken : coffee machine worked but the lid was broken, kettle’s lid as well, once the piece of roof almost fall onto my head, host fixed it. The bed wasn’t in great condition and my and my boyfriend’s stay became the last thing for it, it broke, but the host helped to fix it. We felt guilty that it could be our problem. But counting that house wasn’t prepared absolutely, we suppose it is not.
In the house very small water tank, it’s barely enough to wash for one person.
In March hosts started big works around their house and it was very noisy and as we live in the same garden it was very annoying, hosts even didn’t announce about starting to repair their place, so we could expect some noise. Having calls sometimes was impossible because of terrible noise. Once in the morning at 6:45, I heard very strong noise and when I opened the window I saw a worker mixing the paint with a huge mixer in front of our house. I suppose it’s at least not very polite, because we could be sleeping yet, and the worker even didn’t excuse us. The hosts didn’t excuse.
Felt like we were living in the house for free and they made us a big favor and counting our opinion isn’t necessary.
Neglected condition of the house is obvious from the situation with water pipe. It also broke and put me in uncomfortable position as a woman because just took out of the water pipe menstrual tampax and pads. And of course explaining that it’s not yours doesn’t make sense.
Also we left house 10 days earlier and of course didn’t get refund because it was our decision and even didn’t get any message from the hosts.
That’s all our personal experience, I tried to be objective.
