the pool is great.
There is an excessive amount of rules, instructions and messages that we got from the host before we even checked in. We also had to provide a $500 security deposit as an additional payment to the host, and not the typical way airbnb handles it. 2 weeks later, I'm still waiting on a refund. They "requested" an additional $500 after the booking was accepted. So, it's been harder for me to get the money back. When I "request" it back, it doesn't give me an option to ask for the full $500 back, just a portion of it. WHAT!? We didn't damage a thing while we were there. **i'll be contacting airbnb support about this**
The bedroom sheets, the first night we got in - i peeled the sheets back and they weren't as clean as they needed to be. i'll spare the details. The host corrected it this next morning and gave us fresh sheets and a blanket.
during covid time, i don't think it's a good idea to have decorative pillows or comforters. Everything must be able to be washed between guests.
Simple clean sheets, pillows, blanket and a comfortable clean firm mattress is all that is needed.
there were 6 other guests in the house, in other bedrooms while we were there, and the 2 hosts who live on site.
i think this could be a great place to stay in the future, but they have some clean up things to do to make it a better experience for guests.
I emailed them an extensive list of honest feedback, host to host before I left.
