Unfortunately, this is my first ever AirBnB experience rated less than 5 stars.
To start with the pros:
- Location is fantastic - perfect views over the lake!
- Bikes are available in the garage, though we did not end up using them. This is a great touch!
- Gas heater was very helpful in keeping warm
Now, for the cons:
- Basic amenities were unavailable (some in contradiction with the listing description). We were missing cooking oil, laundry detergent, hair dryer, shower soap, and shampoo/conditioner off the top of my head
- A dead cockroach was found in the living space
- Rust and mould could be found in various locations, particularly in one of the bathrooms
- There were light blood stains under one of the pillows, which was a big turn-off in sleeping there
- Numerous heaters and heated blankets were broken
- The furnitures & blankets are a bit dated and falling apart
Our experience with other AirBnBs in the area at a fraction of the cost (~$150/night) were much, much better.
Thank you David for hosting us, but future travellers would benefit from the above points being addressed. As a host, you have been wonderful and we are most appreciative.
