Plan to Pay Double
Many extra charges and extras that will basically double the cost of the rental. This host does not follow AirBnB policy where all costa (cleaning, linens, and local taxes) are broken down in the price. Instead they hit you with these fees when you arrive. In our case, the rental was $459 for 4 nights. In the “house rules” there is a list of extra charges that are not calculated in the quote. When we arrived we had to pay for towels, bedding, cleaning and a local tax. It added up to $368 CHF. Then to put salt in the wound the charged us $6 to use the washing machine.
When planning trips like this, one normally saves multiple quotes and listings. We were planning four weeks in Europe and several AirBNB. When you come back to your short list it is easy not to read the “house rules” to see the extra charges.
AirBnB is clear Do not pay outside of AirBnB. Stupid that we did. We felt we had no choice pay or get out
On the positive side, the location is beautiful. The space, with exception of bad ligting, was perfect. The views magnificent . It is too bad that this put a damper on what would have been a close to perfect stay.
