BEWARE: THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST AIRBNB EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD. STAY AWAY!
This was supposed to be our trip of a lifetime that we dreamed about for years. It also coincided with my wife's 40th birthday.
When we arrived at your house, we were taken aback by how cold it was inside. We read the instructions and turned on the heat. It started working and we left it on for a few hours. Imagine our disappointment when after 2 or 3 hours, we did not see any improvement in the temperature and we could see our own breath while inside.
We decided to give it some more time, while we went for groceries, but when we came back it was the same temperature inside as before. In addition, the towels were very old and overused and could almost stand by themselves. The toilet was not flushing properly and it took 5 flushes to try to flush toilet paper down. We realized that the place would not work for us as we were tired having travelled for more than 14 hours from another country.
Because we needed to act fast, since it was getting late and we did not have adequate place to stay in Ireland, we made the decision to leave and look for other place as soon as possible. W notified the host immediately of all the issues and that we were leaving.
The host became extremely angry at us for not staying and giving her an opportunity to address the issue.
I am not sure how she could address it, unless she was planning to replace the entire heating system and plumbing within an hour. She refused to acknowledge the issues and issue a refund.
I offered her multiple options to resolve the situation including paying for cleaning and one night, even though we did not stay at all. She refused all offers and stopped communicating.
As the result, this ruined our impression of Ireland and I had to deal with Airbnb for the whole week to get it resolved. We will have lasting memories from this experience and my wife's 40th birthday.
I advise you to stay clear of this place and the host. I will never stay here again.
