This is a hard review to write.
But other airbnb users should know:
1. There were six people in the main house. Two additional ones in
the back house. Eight total on the property.
Felt like a hostel!
Imagine the bathroom situation.
2. No hot water for 3 days.
When I told her, she said, "well, do what you would if I were not here.
Figure it out." And then she walked away.
Another airbnb renter commented on this to airbnb directly.
3. She wants renters who want to stay only 1 day or so. If you want to stay longer, don't! Things become difficult with the host when you do.
4. The bathroom toilet got stuck twice where you have to manually unclog it.
5. The bathroom is full of windows with no curtains. It looks directly to the window of the next house.
6. When I was washing the dishes and some drops of water fell on the floor, I cleaned it with a towel when she shouted out, "Wipe it with the grain, NOT against the grain." Really?
7. Oh yea, don't ever touch her fridge because she will yell at you. No fingerprints on fridge and also if you wipe the fridge, there is a certain way that she wants you to wipe it as well. Ask her about it.
8. This is the best: One day I was sitting on the couch and working on the my laptop when another guest came in. I greeted the guest and told her that the host is in the back.
Then Rita came out and yelled at me in front of the new guest that I was not polite to the guest. Rita expected to act like a host when I am actually a guest and to get up from my work to go look for her and show her around the house.
What really was bad was that the guest was stunned and asked me why Rita even yelled me. When I told Rita that was not appropriate and even the guest thought so, Rita went to the guest's room and pulled her out to confront her and ask her if indeed she said that. The guest replied, "yes."
So awkward and inappropriate and uncomfortable.
But otherwise, the house is clean and looks like the pictures.
