Would Not Recommend
Our original plan was to stay at the property for nine days. Due to a work conflict I had to shorten the time to four days. When I contacted Tanya about this change at least a month before, expecting a refund, Tanya informed me that she would only refund my money if someone else booked the property for those days first, which already sounded sketchy to begin with but I agreed in hopes of getting my money back. I checked the listing the week after and noticed that it was booked so I contacted Tanya again to inquire about my refund. She then informed me that they had to actually complete their stay at the property before I could get my refund. At this point I was annoyed but was still willing to cooperate.
While we were at the property, the location was great and centrally located. However, the toilet was completely inoperable. I thought that it was odd that before I was even able to step onto the property she made it a point in her text that if she had to call a plumber to the property it would be an additional charge of $250 out of my pocket. Within our first use of the toilet (using the toilet paper she provided), the water pressure was extremely low and could not even flush the 4 squares of toilet paper. As when I brought the problem up to Tanya, she informed me that the toilet was supposedly working fine for the previous guest so I had to pay money out of my own pocket to buy a plunger to make the toilet work. For the entirety of our stay we used toilets in the surrounding areas because we did not rely on the toilet at all anymore and did not want to be blamed or charged for any issues with it.
It has now been almost 2 weeks since our stay at the property and I still have not received any amount of money from Tanya, even though I messaged her every few days inquiring about it. Because this is my last day to provide a review on this property and host, I will give an honest review of my experience up to this point. I feel as if the host could have been more attentive and transparent during communication and that the property should be checked for functionality.
