The location of this Airbnb is fantastic - nestled between trees, it feels very private despite having a next door neighbour. There are fantastic walks and beaches just minutes away.
The communication with the administrator was prompt and easy. Instructions were also straight forward. The house was clean and tidy - mostly. Here comes the problem: Unfortunately, one of the bedrooms had an extremely strong smell of urine. This was never disclosed by the owner, or the administrator. In fact, this deemed the room unusable. With only a “sorry", they left us with this uncomfortable issue during our stay and just offered a refund of the cleaning costs, and only after the matter was escalated to Airbnb.
It is understandable that these things can happen, but it was very disappointing that they tried to hide it, and only addressed the issue when confronted by Airbnb.
Another suggestion to make this place better is their selection of kitchen tools - everything was old, and scarce. Considering the house was for 10 guests, there were only 8 chairs, 4-5 glasses and about 8 wine glasses.
Other comments: It’s wintertime, we were happy to use the wood burning stove (as shown on the advertising pictures). However, upon arrival we discovered that it was not for guest use. Fortunately, there were heat pumps but it is not the same cozy feel. No parking available in the driveway is also not ideal - but isn’t a deal breaker.
I don’t think the neighbour loves the fact that the house is used for Airbnb purposes.
Again, great location, could have been better without the urine smell, ability to use the fireplace, and better kitchen utensils.
