This place was so bad I left an hour after I checked in, cut short my trip, left at rush hour on a weekday and drove 6 hours home to San Francisco in order to be in my office in time for work the next morning. I reserved this cottage as a place to find quiet and solitude while I worked remotely. In the listing, it is described as having a "dedicated workspace." However, there is no office whatsoever - no desk, no desk chair - only an empty closet-size space at the top of a ladder with a sign that read "use at your own risk," without any furnishings or floor coverings, places to sit or outlets to plug in a computer. At the bottom of the ladder next to a small closet is a vanity with a little stool but again, nowhere to set up for work unless, I suppose, you work as a makeup artist. The place is old and in disrepair, dirty (ants in the kitchen and in the coffee pot, rust stains on the floor in the bathroom, decaying wood framing the glass panels in the back door, spiderwebs, windows that have never seen a bottle of windex), and without a heat source save the wood burning oven which is unsafe to use in fire season in at risk areas of California (the host is aware of this, explicitly prohibiting any use of fire in the cottage and as such not providing any fire starting materials). What is missing from the photos is the context of the surrounding property in which you will see piles of junk, dirty rags, rotting bean bags, decaying plants, piles of laundry, etc. The host lives in the adjacent property and on the other side of a bamboo fence from the cottage is another airbnb listing. As your arrival date approaches, she will offer to cook for you - entrees range from $30-$42 per item - and solicit your business for a local masseuse who charges $120 per hour. After wasting over $500 for a 2 night rental I was unable to use, I ended up feeling completely taken advantage of. When I expressed my intent to leave, the host became hostile and refused to refund my money even after I cancelled the stay in order to free her up to rent it to another guest.
