The place was pretty nice but the host did not value our privacy and did not coordinate well with their gardeners with our reservations so the gardeners became really disruptive during our 3 day stay. Especially since they shut off the water on the day of my brother's wedding when some of us were getting ready (will get more into this later...) The host messaged me a few hours before our check-in that there will be gardeners working on the property for the next few days (which is basically throughout our stay) which was weird when I read the message since we already reserved this property like two months prior.
On the morning of my brother's wedding, the gardeners shut off the water and asked us if they can have access to the garage which was connected to the house. We told them that they couldnt go inside cause we had a car and our belongings inside the garage so we didn't want anyone inside and they can gain access to the house cause there is a door between the house and the garage. But some of us couldn't get ready for my brother's wedding cause the water was shut off and this was about two hours before it was about to start. I messaged the host about it and how we denied access but she said it was okay for them to be in the garage and she was willing to come over to let them in...(uhh) I basically told her that we wanted privacy and asked her if they could work on the sprinklers some other time. She eventually doubled down and asked if it was okay to let them work on the sprinklers cause the garage wouldn't be the house and that the sprinklers have been broken a while so the front yard haven't had water in a few days. While I was going back and forth with the host about this, my brother who needed to get ready ended up letting them in cause the water was shut off and he couldnt get ready so he had to wait for the gardeners to finish doing whatever they needed to do on the sprinklers so they could turn the water back on. After the water was back on, I updated the host about what my brother did so he could get ready for the wedding and she responded that she was gonna tell the gardeners to work on the sprinklers some other time and didn't know there was a wedding even though a reason for booking was required when I requested this AirBnB and I stated that my family and I were going up for a wedding before she accepted our reservation... It also seemed like she wasn't sorry about the situation lol
The gardeners were also working outside of the house from 8am to mid-afternoon so some of us couldn't sleep in and take naps mid day cause they were mowing/blowing the grass. We also had a 6 month old baby so sometimes she would wake up from the sound of the gardeners. It also seemed the grass wasn't cut for more than a few weeks cause it was pretty long lol. If we wanted to use the backyard of the property for the second day in our reservation, we couldn't because they were mowing the grass and doing yardwork which we didn't need to but what if some other guests were in the same situation and was planning to use the backyard. If the host needed to do work on their yard and sprinklers, they should NOT have booked anyone during this time because it was annoying dealing with the gardeners especially when the water was shut off. It's not the gardener's fault cause they were there doing there jobs but the host should have coordinated with the gardeners better and rescheduled their work some other time (i.e. when guests are not paying to use the property...) I paid to use the property for a few days and should not be dealing with this mess especially on an important day like my brothers wedding so yes I was annoyed.
Also 2 out of the 4 beds' bedframes were broken and it looked like they were able to snap off and break. I messaged the host about this cause we noticed right away on our first night there when my sister laid down on one of the beds.
