This is the first Airbnb I’ve been unhappy with. The home is very lovely! But the host was quite the opposite. We stayed here twice with a couple days break in between, to visit other areas. On our first stay, the city was on a water ban and dispute our best efforts to avoid the water, our family got very sick. Because we were so ill, the home was not picked up as well as it should have been. I let Marion know and asked if we could have a little extra time in the morning, but we were rushed out at exactly 10a.
When we returned she lined us up and yelled at us for 10 minutes. She went beyond just talking about what was wrong and complained about Americans and criticized our parenting choices (traveling abroad with a big family and we had 4 people go out of their way to tell us how impressed they were with our kids!).
This rude welcome made my little kids cry and they begged me to find a different house. We all felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome and never were able to really settle back in. We travel a lot with our family and often stay at Airbnbs or VRBOs. Usually our Airbnbs feel like home. We say things like, “on our way back home”. But we never caught ourselves calling it home, it was “the house” or “Ms Marion’s house”.
I would not recommend this home to anyone due to the close contact you will have with the host. Her rudeness caused a huge rain cloud over half of our trip.
