WARNING DO NOT BOOK!! They have a non refundable policy for a reason. This is bc they know it’s not up to par and you can’t complain bc it’s non refundable and they already got your money.
I’m sure the family is very nice and just wants to earn some extra cash by renting out their house but we had to end our stay halfway through without a refund because of how uncomfortable we felt staying here. We preferred to pay for an additional airbnb to live somewhere else much nicer for $30 more. The streets are very narrow and steep and hard to drive with cars parked leaving one lane to go up and down the hills. This was particularly more difficult to drive in at night. It’s inside their basement as mentioned in their description so you have to walk through their house and down a very wobbly spiral staircase where the largest part of the step is the size of my foot. This may be dangerous for the older or younger guests or while you’re holding your suitcase.
The space itself: the pictures show the rooms but what you see is ALL there is, there is nothing more. Much smaller than i thought. One small median between the two bedrooms. If you do stay, bring slippers because the floor feels like it’s not clean. The bathroom looks renovated but the picture is blurry so you can’t see all the cracks and wear and tear. The sink is half the size so you have to turn to wash your face and the toilet paper is half ply. The beds creak with every movement. You also only get one outlet per room and one trash can placed in the bathroom. Also, the blinds don’t go down all the way so it’s really bright in the morning.
Cleanliness concern: This is the reason we left. I did bring it up with the hosts and they still have not responded to me, reason why we had to get up and go. They have a nonrefundable policy and the moment i brought it up, i was ghosted. I wish i could include pictures to capture the filth here. We paid a cleaning fee too but it just seem like it went towards making the bed. We found ants in the linen and hair under the sheets before we settled in. This leads us to believe that they didn’t even wash the linen. There was dust throughout the house but especially on the night stand. Our allergies were triggered just by being in that room and calmed down a lot after leaving. We did the finger test and the nightstand went from gray to black in that one spot. One of the comforters has a bunch of holes in it with the cotton stuffing looking like it was about to fall out. There was a sock left under the edge of the bed and trash in the dressers. Additionally, there were dead flies on the windows. It just seems like no one has stayed there in a while. Everyone else saw what my group didn’t and were smart to stay away. You should too unless you need a quick stay for cheap.
