I guess Pia might be a nice host for anyone who visits without a dog.
As I was visiting with a dog I had a different experience. First she made an exception for me by allowing me to bring my dog, this was kind of her.
She accepted us both as guests, but right from the beginning she was very neurotic about my dogs behaviour that's absolutely normal and not annoying. All the five other hosts I have been with him can confirm that.
Then my dog got ill and she became scared and told me he would have a very contagious disease, she had to disinfect the whole house (he had only been in a small part of it though) and that her and her dogs life were at steak so she told me that my dog could not stay. I could stay there without him.
A ridiculous suggestion as she also told me my dog had to go to hospital and would die probably soon. So what she wanted me to do that night was to within a few hours as well go to hospital as arrange a place where they could cater a sick dog. Furthermore she expected that I would stay at her place instead of with my sick dog. This as she said that she ‘did not kick me out, I was welcome but my dog needed to stay elsewhere’. Of course this was for her a financially tactical move, but it was not realistic to expect me to abandon my sick dog.
My dog was not sick with a contagious disease, he had eaten something bad. He was certainly not putting her or her dog at danger the vet told us. So I begged her to please allow us both to come back; she refused. In her opinion my dog was still a thread to her dog (despite of what the vet said) as her dog was having a planned operation soon after and needed to be in top condition.
As I had no alternative place for a sick dog at such short notice I had no choice to book another place for the both of us. I found another Airbnb that was higher in price and in an area I did not want to be in. So I had extra expenses on my accommodation as well as extra expenses on the vet as a result of her neurotic fears.
I believe her behaviour was inhumane, insensitive and not fair. Again: all other hosts I have been at with my dog were happy to have us and had not complaints at all. No disinfecting the house or invest in another way time or money because of our stay, they would all be happy to host us again.
To end on a positive note: her place was well situated and the room was very nice, big, light & comfortable. It’s a pity things went this way.
