It's difficult to know how to do a fair review of this property. We made a last minute booking. The room was lovely and spacious. The location was terrific, and the hosts were very welcoming. Ordinarily, this listing would merit a 4 or 5 star review.
We were greeted at the curb by the husband and then joined in our room by his wife. Here's where it got sticky. The wife had a bad cold and was standing in "our" room a couple of feet away from us hacking and coughing away. We felt that if we stayed, there was a good possibility that we would catch her cold, which could have ruined 3 to 5 days of our vacation. So we left without staying the night, forfeited our money, and ended up staying the night in a terrible, last-minute booking elsewhere.
When I emailed to explain why we weren't staying, the wife responded "it was only a cold."
You can judge for yourself whether she acted appropriately, but we believe that at the time of the booking. she should have informed us that she had a cold, and permitted us to cancel without penalty, and if we had decided to go ahead with the booking, she should have stayed far away from us and let her husband do all the hosting.
The hosts did not offer to refund our money even though we did not stay and it was very unlikely that the room could have been rented to someone else, as we made the booking in the afternoon to stay that same evening.
Because we lost our money and couldn't stay due to the host's illness, we're giving this a one -star review
