The property is well located, however, the property was described as an "English Cottage" but forgot to mention it was surrounded by overgrown mosquito ridden tropical landscaping.
The house was was incredibly dirty and decrepit, every plate was chipped and all the kitchen utensils were filthy.
We called the host to ask for a cleaner and she kept saying how difficult it was to find one. We found one easily and had the house deep cleaned
Apart from the infestation of mosquitos, the final straw was the cockroaches
running around.
We packed up and left to stay in a hotel for the final week and texted the host to convey our disappointment.
All she had to say, once again, was how difficult it was to find cleaners. The host did refund our cleaning fee, big deal, the house should have been cleaned before we arrived.
The hosts final communication to me was "on your next trip find a more modern house". I think the correlation between age and dirt is totally irrelevant and the comment patronizing.
