Review
I believe the title of this airbnb should be: basic essentials only
Positives:
1. Affordable, fit within what my work would reimburse.
2. There was enough space for 5 of us.
3. It was very clean.
4. There were plenty of plugs
5. Wifi for devices worked great.
6. We had a parking spot
7. The heat worked
Negatives:
1. The amenities listed are available, for the most part (no shampoo and we couldn’t use the coffee maker because the Lidl didn’t have pods that would work) but everything is very basic. There is one towel and one hand towel for each guest, one thin comforter and one flat pillow. We did leave 5 more pillows that we picked up at IKEA.
2. We struggled with the toilets. They really flush when they want to, particularly the upstairs one. When it decides not to flush, we had to flush using a pot and a bowl and tossing in the toilet. The owners came and took a video of how the toilets work, but we were unable to get the upstairs one flushing all the time.
3. The bathroom tub has a hole in the side.
Michael was fairly responsive. Prior to the booking, I asked a few questions that were not answered in a timely manner (several weeks) but when he finally answered he said they were very busy in high season. He was responsive to issues when we were on-site.
All in all, it’s not horrible, but you need to know what you are getting into when you rent this location. I have stayed in many many airbnbs and so I did not expect luxury by any means, but did have higher expectations. The owner explained this as a “mid-price” location which is typically what I say at. I think for me, in comparison to other places, it would be a lower price and basic Airbnb. I would not stay here again and instead I would pay more for somewhere nicer.
