Staying at Ieva’s shared home was an experience for us. Firstly we would like to mention to everyone reading this review - please read the description carefully! Even though the house is marked as an entire home to yourself, it is in fact a shared apartment. You get to stay either on first floor, or second. The garden is shared with other guests, so if you’re willing to go reserve and go to so-called jacuzzi, it is not hidden from other guests, as it is said in the description. By the way, other guests we met, also were surprised that this isn’t an entire home, as they selected in filters.
Secondly, this house is marked as “enhanced clean”. Unfortunately, that really wasn’t for us - dirty dishes and kitchenware, ashtrays were left full with cigarettes from previous guests, and on top of that, all trash bins were completely full. Like we couldn’t even throw one bag of trash there. One more thing, we had to clean the terrace and furniture ourselves, because it was black dirty (we understand its city and dust can cover it, but going through with a sponge for 5 minutes, shouldn’t be that big of a problem).
Thirdly, regarding check-in - be prepared that you will NOT be checked in at the proper time (we had to wait approximately 30-40 minutes). And it was the same with other guests.
And finally, it seems like Ieva is having problems with neighbours, and now accusing us that 84 people have signed a petition to end their business because as she mentions we were loud. And is now basically extorting money from us, to “soften relationship with neighbours”. Which honestly sounds like a joke to us, because we didn’t even have music. Yes, we were a group of 12 people, on top of that there was a group of nice French guys on the first floor, so approximately 20 people, of course there will be some noises heard. But we were told post-fact, that basically 84 people, neighbours, because of us have signed to stop her AirBnB’ing. It is truly disappointing that all blame, even for previous guests, is being put on us.
So yeah, other than that bed sheets and floors were clean. Guests wanting to stay here, make your own decision.
