The place is fine. Good central location geographically. Had everything we needed. Issues with the host.
When we got there we found lots of things were broken like curtains falling apart, door handles falling off, etc. We took pictures of everything right away and sent to the host so she would know that it was like that when we arrived. We told her that she didn’t need to fix all the things, but that we only asked that the exterior window latch be fixed so we could close it when we leave the house. She didn’t want to fix it, and only sent someone to fix it after we insisted, telling her that this house being on the ground floor we can’t leave the house with our computers and things in inside if we can’t close and lock the exterior window. Seems like common sense and all would have been fine if she just sent someone to fix the window and left us alone.
She became clearly upset with us and seemed that since that moment was looking for some issue with us. On our second day in the house she sent her cleaner even though we told her we didn’t want cleaning and we had just arrived anyhow so nothing was dirty. After the cleaner left, the host sent us a message telling us not to put our food in the cabinet, that we have to put it on the counter, telling us that we can’t move the location of the cups and plates in the cabinet, as if we had done something terribly wrong by putting food in the cabinet. It seems like she sent her cleaner to find some problem with us. It was all very strange.
Half way through our short stay she requested us to take pictures around the inside of the house to prove to her that we were keeping it clean and had not moved anything. We told her that we are keeping it clean and will be sure that all of the cups and dishes are in their correct place when we leave, but we did not take pictures around the house and send to her. We cleaned everything super well before leaving just to be sure she wouldn’t try to blame us for something. After we left she sent us an angry message on Air BnB saying that we had trashed the place and broken things to disrespect her. All of this was not true. I seriously don’t know what is the problem. I’ve been living full time in Air BnBs as a digital nomad for many years and have never had to leave a bad review. I had lots of work during my time there and just wanted to be left alone to get work done. All of this was a waste of my time.
