The smell of cat urine, moldy/mustiness, very soft beds that hurt our backs, a door you have to kick to get all the way open, and towels that felt like sandpaper…just some of our memories of Carolina’s place! There’s nothing quite like waking in the night to see the outline of a black cat peering in at you through your open window! But the thought of closing the window to have no fresh air is even worse.
Like one other review said, if you’re looking for a medieval living experience, then this is your place! We didn’t even mind so much the 35+ stairs from the entrance to the beds. Having the motion sensor lights constantly turn off in the dungeon-esque hallways as we climbed our way into the unit, only added to the medieval ambiance.
I was loving all the communication with Carolina prior to check-in. Once I responded to her email asking how things were, and I only mentioned the odors, interestingly enough, she went silent. It wasn’t until after we had departed that she emailed saying she’d alert the owner and get those things taking care of. I’m doubtful, to say the least.
This is my first negative review of an Airbnb. After reading all the positive reviews I was disappointed to find the true state of the place. The location is good, although it’s weird and very trusting of them to give you access to the entire wine shop when it’s closed. And no, I was never offered any port wine. Sarah, the helper, though was very kind and enjoyable.
If you’ve read this far, consider yourself warned.
