I’m not one to write negative reviews, and I debated whether or not to write this one, but in the end decided it best to represent accurately some of the issues we experienced while staying at Arcadio’s place. We booked as a party of five and our request was immediately accepted. As instructed in the listing, I contacted Arcadio by message asking for further instructions regarding how to check in, but he never got back to me. Since the request was accepted and the payment already processed, we drove to the location, only to discover it was the wrong address entirely. We called the phone number listed for the property, only to have the woman who answered the phone know nothing about our reservation. We received a different address from her and drove to the second location. She told us that they had contacted Airbnb to change the address but for some reason it hadn’t been done. She showed us to the place where we were going to stay. Once we were shown inside, we noticed a strong, overpowering chemical odor that made all of us, including our seven month pregnant friend, feel dizzy. When we asked what the smell was, she explained that the wooden ceiling had just been stained. Immediately, we asked for another lodging option, as we recognized breathing fresh wood stain fumes is highly toxic. Initially, she refused our request, stating nothing was available. We pushed back, citing our pregnant friend’s health and safety. Only then did she allow us to move to another house. The second house was not clean and plagued by an infestation of stink bugs on all three levels and in every room. Her gruff, inhospitable demeanor set the tone for the other interactions we had with staff— for instance, when we called the next morning, as instructed, to let them know we were departing, the man answering the phone didn’t know we were guests, didn’t seem to care, and acted bothered that we had even called. The lack of accuracy in terms of representing the property to be what it was included amenities such as the row boats on the lake supposedly available for guest use. They were inoperable due to being submerged under a couple feet of water. For the price paid, the entire experience was off-putting and uncomfortable. The most concerning thing overall, though, was her initial attempt to house us in a highly toxic environment that was not safe, and the denial of our request to be moved. Beware.
