The trip started with us trying to access the lockbox. The code given by the host did not work. We then found the keys to the property on the portabin outside the front door so we assumed the keys were left for us there.
When you entered the property the first thing you notice is the smell. The smell is worse as you climb the second set of stairs to the two bedrooms, bathroom and laundry.
At first glance the kitchen area looks good, that is until you actually try to use the kitchen. All appliances look second hand or are extremely old and are hardly fit for purpose. The microwave is full of rust inside. The oven doesn’t work properly and the hob to select which setting to use was so badly worn that you couldn’t select the right setting. The oven was dirty. The racks were black and there was a rusty roasting dish inside (yuck). The cutlery was like cheap tin and the untensils were in desperate need of replacing.
The toilet upstairs is in the laundry and there is nowhere to wash your hands (no hand wash or towels provided) until you open the door and go into the bathroom (yuck).
The bed is too big in one of the bedroom that prevents you from opening the door to enter the bedroom. The shower in the bathroom flooded.
The TV was tiny. A cheap tv with a terrible picture.
The outdoor furniture was all dirty. The view described on the air bnb is actually a view of trees and houses.
The garage had their furniture in it.
We decided the property was not suitable to stay in (we felt incredibly uncomfortable staying there) so we cancelled our booking after staying just one night.
I messaged the host to let her know of our discomfort and I shared the problems of the house. The host was very defensive, verbally attacking and gas lighted me non stop. The host even accused me of trying to access the neighbours property, which was a complete lie.
In short do not stay here unless you are comfortable with a house that smells and worn, dirty, cheap and non functional appliances and furniture.
