I stayed at this Airbnb for a month during February to March of 2020 and have major concerns about this establishment, the top two, among many, are: 1. the hosts’ disregard for the personal and health safety of their guests and 2. the reliability of information conveyed by the owners.
Regarding my personal health safety: the owners keep a feral cat on the premises, which, if you open your door for fresh air feels free to enter the “joli studio”. The studio has no windows so the only means of airing it, is to open the door. On the worst of occasions that the cat entered the studio, I tried to gently remove it. The feral cat aggressively scratched me and hissed at me in a most violent manner. When I showed the owner this assault she informed me that the feral cat was simply defending itself, and took no concern about the medical bills I had to incur to insure that it had not transmitted some zoonotic virus to me.
Secondly, the owners cannot be held up to any accountability of agreements they concede to. The most egregious of which was claiming that the “joli studio” had been left in an uncleanable state, that required additional payment from me. Despite the fact that at checkout we had an exit inspection, during which they assured me, and my family, that cleaning costs were included in the Airbnb price, and there was no need for me to do anymore cleaning, than I had already done.
Even more disingenuous, was the fact that the cat had sustained a self inflicted injury due to its viscousness, which made it even more prone to attacks. A point they neglected to convey to incoming guests, and lied about when they claimed the cat’s attacking me was an act of self-defense. Such a cat should simply not be left to roam amongst uninformed guests, as it poses a real hazard to the health and safety of all.
Overall, I rate the “joli studio’s” hosts a 0 out of 5, primarily for lack of consideration for guests’ personal health safety and secondly, the hosts’ disingenuousness.
I highly recommend, to anyone seeking a pleasant and safe stay in the region to seek alternate accommodation.
