Frederic is a very nice gentleman and we had a good chat about Airbnb. I have to be honest to other Airbnb guests who do stay with Frederic, as I have always gone on people’s reviews to stay at properties myself. Unfortunately, we did not have a very good experience at all at Fredric’s. We arrived to find that the house was occupied by other Airbnb guests, and Frederick does not advertise that he has a second room. Therefore guests do not have a private bathroom as stated in the profile. I picked this house, because it said it was a no smoking environment. This is not true, unfortunately the house smells of smoke, especially the room that we were staying in. We were told that some rogue guests had just stayed before us who had smoked without permission in the room. But as the host was not present they were not stopped and therefore the room stank of smoke. To a smoker it would probably not be too noticeable but to us it was awful. The other Airbnb (who were a lovely couple) were also smoking outside underneath our window, so we couldn’t air the room. Frederic tried to mitigate the issue with scented candles which helped a little. The description also states that breakfast is provided but nothing was laid out nor we were directed to any breakfast items. So we provided our own breakfast. The cleanliness of the house and the room was not up to the standard of Airbnb generally, perhaps this was partly due to Frederic not being present in the days before our visit however a clean standard should always be paramount no matter or you should not receive guests when you yourself are absent or relying on others to keep your home clean. However, saying all this I did talk to Frederic about these issues and stated that you have to be transparent with your guests at all times as you are providing a service. Frederic accepted that he is still getting to grips with Airbnb and I truly wish him well as I say he is a lovely, friendly man and I am sure this is just a blip. Frederic did refund most of our money without prompting. If Frederic could get these issues sorted it would be a lovely place to stay for an Airbnb experience, however he just needs to make sure that his profile is totally accurate for Airbnb guests going forward.
