The home is beautiful, and the room we stayed in was private as listed- at least, for the first couple days. The aunt of one of the owners (who weren't home but were communicative through email) was there to take care of some household things, and she brought with her two small dogs. For 4-5 days of our 8 day stay, the dogs (who stayed on the balcony just outside our room) barked at us anytime we came/went/made noise in our room, and every morning we woke up to their feces on the balcony, making enjoyment of that area impossible. We let the owners know about this inconvenience, but nothing was ultimately done about it.

We are not people who are able to travel frequently and were disappointed to have our vacation marred in this way. Unfortunately, since this did not occur within 24 hours of the start of our stay, we are unable to request a refund of any kind, so I wanted to share our experience so others will be more apt to ask in advance who will all be staying at the house during their stay (for us, it was too crowded a house: 6 other guests, plus the aunt, brother, and housekeeper).

This was our first negative Airbnb experience, and we are disappointed to have spent our hard-earned money only to be met with dog poop each morning.
