The space is beautiful but it was not what was advertised. Going in, we were completely comfortable with the size of the studio room given the advertised access to the private patio and the pool/hot tub. We were surprised when we were told that the pool would be in private use for most of both days of our stay. We discovered that our host had double rented the pool through Swimply (basically Airbnb for pools), during which time we were told not to access the pool.
What’s more, it is hard to call the patio private since we encountered various people throughout our 2 day stay. One guest of Dino’s other Airbnb listing walked through the private patio space repeatedly- it’s a small shared space so this is understandable. What we took issue with was the group of the Swimply guests who wandered into our private area.
One could look past some of this if the little things were on point. But they were not. The Keurig had no coffee, the WiFi was down for the first day, and there were dog feces in front of our door and on the patio. Granted Dino did offer us coffee from his house and cleaned the dog feces when we notified him.
What was advertised and what we thought we were getting with this Airbnb was a small space made worthwhile by open access to a picturesque pool and private outdoor space. This is not the experience we received. Guests should confirm before booking how often they will actually be able to use this pool and how many other customers will be sharing the premises.
