I'll be honest as I travel a lot and use airbnb all the time, this started off as a great experience and turned greedy.
The house is rather nice, great view and the hosts communicate reasonably well, the furniture is old and tacky and a chair broke when I went to sit down, (yes I am a little heavy than most, but it should support 105KG) We contacted the host and advised of said chair, happy to pay damages its the right thing to do, to be told we need to leave a large sum of money on the kitchen bench.
I asked for it to be done via airbnb to ensure that all parties are protected (and i was away on business, so my employer needs records) to be told No. "dont have time for going through lots of process with air bnb"
The house is really really cold with only a one split system heater in the main lounge area, and small electric heaters in your bedroom, so if you want some heat turn them on for days before you arrive.
The listing should NOT say entire house, when there is a person living on the ground floor with their bedroom connecting into the main house to be honest it made us feel unsafe and concerned. Fortunately we where only really there to eat and sleep the rest of the time was spent at work.
Id perhaps recommend this, but take your own lock for your bedroom door, so you don't sleep with one eye open.
