We were extremely disappointed with the cleanliness of the house. The house was infested with flies when we arrived with a pungent smell and general mustiness. The description of the house made no mention of the house being pet friendly with dogs living in the house. This is an important detail for guests who have allergies as there was dog hair EVERYWHERE including bedding.
We spent the first few hours of our stay going to the shops to buy insect spray for the flies (which the hosts offered to get a friend to bring as they were away), however we also wanted to get gloves to clean the space before our 7 night stay. The floors were unswept and everything we needed to use (dishwasher, stove, couch etc) needed a good cleaning before use. Even the swimming pool had some rubbish at the bottom (plastic container, plastic lid, cardboard).
While the house itself was lovely and the owner’s were responsive, the general hygiene was very disappointing.
