On our second and third day at the Airbnb, workers showed up early in the morning (8:30-9:00am), saying they were scheduled for asbestos removal. There was no prior communication about this from the owner so it came as a complete surprise to us. This was an inconvenience as we were asked to move our car so they could have our parking spot in the driveway. When work began, the workers operated right outside of one of the bedrooms, dressed in full body hazmat gear and a gas mask. The nature of their work and their presence made us feel very uncomfortable during what was supposed to be a relaxing time at the vacation home. We had a 3 year old with us and while the workers said that the asbestos was of lower risk grade, we would have preferred to have zero risk, or be alerted by this prior and to have the choice to not stay at this property. We then changed our plans around in order to not be at the house during the day because we did not want to be exposed to even trace amounts of what was on site.
Booking communication was otherwise smooth. House itself is pretty well located and well furnished. The driveway was a lot steeper and hard to manoeuvre onto than expected (as there was no mention of it in the description).
