Isabelle's house is stylish, and lovely, in many ways. The architecture, furniture and pieces of art are great. Obviously, she has a great eye for style. I stayed at the house with two older children for three weeks in the summer of 2022. There were a few issues with cleanliness, and cockroaches, unfortunately. When we first got there, we noticed things were clean from far, but many things were far from clean, upon closer inspection. For example, the baseboards had dust buildup, and you might pull a knife or utensil from the kitchen to find it dirty. Some items like the smoothie maker were very dirty, which kind of gave things a less than good feel. I cleaned the items and carried on. A few days in, I woke up to find a live cockroach in the living room. I let Isabelle know right away and thought it might just be a one off situation, being in the summer and all. However, a few days later, I found another one, also live. Again, I killed it and hoped it wasn't an "issue." The problem with finding cockroaches is that it really ruins several days of stay because each day you wake up anxious you'll find a new one. Isabelle responded to me saying that she's never had this issue before. However, throughout our stay, we had to deal with cockroaches on four different days/occasions. Given the frequency of cockroaches, I think the house must have a current problem with roaches. You don't just happen to find cockroaches on four different days. We also left doors and windows closed at all times after finding the first one. I would not go back to this house for this reason alone. The last evening of the stay we encountered a different problem. The alarms went off all night, we had to call the police (who did a perimeter check), then the fire department, and Isabelle was unreachable, so we could not turn the alarms off and could not get any sleep. . . . One or two days after we checked out, Isabelle reached out to us via AirBnB saying that she needed extra money for cleaning because we left the house dirty, and the kitchen very dirty with dirty dishes and pans. Luckily, I had taken pictures and a long video of the home just before leaving. I also had pictures of the cockroaches and documentation from the police and alarm incident. I shared the pictures with AirBnB staff, and the pictures showed that contrary to Isabelle's complaints, the kitchen and entire house were left totally clean, with no dirty dishes and pans left in the kitchen. I had even gone to the trouble of doing her laundry before we left, leaving all the towels folded nicely on one of the beds. I have to wonder if the owner made the accusations as preemptory move knowing I would raise the cockroach issue with AirBnB. I asked for five days refund, 4 for the cockroaches and 1 for the police/alarm incident, which I thought was reasonable under the circumstances. She has refused even one night's refund. AirBnB staff was pretty shocked to see how she complained about cleanliness when they saw the photos and videos. Lucky for me I even thought of doing that. It just have just been a vibe I got. Anyways, the staff at AirBnB apologized and is currently handling the issue.
