We stayed at Robyn’s for 1 week. I contacted her through Airb&b to let her know our arrival time. We arrived and tried the lock combo provided to enter which did not work. Ricky was home to let us in,but was surprised at our arrival time. I contacted Robyn twice about our early arrival but received no reply.The room was not ready when we arrived so we waited while he made the bed.When we got into the room and opened the covers we found flannel sheets,not good for summer.Asked if we could change to summer sheets,and we were given sheets and changed them ourself. Room was obviously not cleaned as the bed was not made and there was dust on the furniture,and blinds,and dead bugs and junk behind the dresser.This felt more like a hostel than a home stay. We had 6 people in the house and we all had to juggle bathroom and kitchen time.The fridge in the garage which is for guests was not clean,and the freezer was packed with the hosts food,but works.The Main bathroom/shower was not very clean/but works.
At the time we arrived Robyn had just had hip surgery and she was obviously in no shape to host.There was a computer and medications all over the kitchen table,glasses,cups,and dishes left around and on the table.There were people coming and going,home care worker,friends and family,and we felt in the the way.The hosts really had no care about the guest,like vacuuming while we were preparing our meals,or apply personal body deodorant spray in the kitchen while we were preparing our meal.Kitchen was not very clean and we ended up eating most of our meals at the counter standing up,because the table was uninviting,cluttered or being used.When we arrived we did not feel very welcome,or comfortable, and it was obvious that Robyn was in no condition to host guests in her home at that time.Robyn should have blocked out these dates until she was better and could get herself and the house in order. There was no lock on our “private room” to secure our belongings while we were gone,and no latch on the door inside while we slept.The bed was comfortable,cable TV worked,and the wifi worked well.All in all the place had everything we needed for our stay,and close to CBD. We chose this place because it had so many great reviews,but I think for us this was just bad timing and hope you recover well Robyn.
