First off, I want to say being a small business owner, I would never want to hurt anyone's chance to earn a living or extra income. But I need to be honest so other people do not have the same experience we had. The booking is not a cottage, it is an attached apartment. I felt the description is misleading. There was no noise that was out of the ordinary. I just felt it was misrepresented.
Place was really not clean, it is a little run down, but for a short stay we thought it would be ok. The beginning of the first week (3-4 days) was fine, after that is where the issues came. Towards the end of the first week my wife noticed some red marks on my arm. We didn't think much of it, but within 3 days I was covered with Flea bites. By Monday I had over 100 on my arms, back, and legs. I approached Rosemary about the issue and she didn't seem surprised a bit that it happened and said the unit next door was scheduled to be visited by the exterminator. So she knew the place had a flea issue which to me is a very dishonest thing to put a paying guest through. I didn't get an apology just a plan for us to move all of our stuff out and get the exterminator in to deal with the issue. Not exactly a satisfactory reply. I told her I was not comfortable staying there anymore and she gave me the option of cancelling the booking. I called Airbnb and they helped me cancel the booking, credit my account and find me multiple listings. We were on our way somewhere else within a few hours. The customer service that Airbnb rep Brian provided was incredible in helping us. I don't feel that anyone should have to go through what we did, covered with bites and never even got an apology. This was a disgusting experience. No one should be staying there until these issues are fixed and the entire unit cleaned. This is an honest review based on our experience.
