I hope that these guys have learnt from this weekend. Bed broken so slept on a mattress on the floor, leaking sink in the bathroom, no blinds in lounge or bathroom so no privacy, no handle on the grill deeming it unsafe to use, kitchen sink blocked (but later fixed). The front door took us 30mins to open, as the locking system is obviously broken. The whole experience was very unusual for our airbnb and i trust that airbnb are taking it up with the owners as we speak. Numerous issues that can easily be fixed. So please clarify with the owners that these issues have been fixed before booking. The location, and size of the property was ample and couldnt complain, but thats about it.
I'd approach speaking with the owners with caution, and make sure they listen to what you have to say, rather than making you feel bad for their issues within the home. At one point it felt as though i was the only person that felt like these things were issues. But truly they arent what i expect from staying at an airbnb
