We would really like to urge the owner to change the description for her airbnb to reflect the residence of a cat. Pet-friendly is very different than this. We never would have selected this home had there been a clear statement that a cat or cats live(s) there full-time when owner is home. Also, we were surprised to find food in the fridge and freezer, which the owner first stated must be from the previous guest but then after we gave a description, said it was hers. That felt upsetting because we were going to be there five weeks and looking forward to the space. We asked to be able to change our contract and leave Sept 1st instead of Sept 16 but were told by the owner that this wasn't possible. The fact is, is that we paid a lot of money to be there so it was very upsetting. We were especially careful and loving guests. We treated the home as it were our own; cleaning up after ourselves and even deeper cleaning each week. We also brought in her mail and were very conscious of energy use and garbage collection. The home is beautiful and Rebecca has put a lot of love into it but it was extra challenging for us due to the cat allergies. Temporary visiting animals is very different than a full-time live-in cat which comes and goes with the owner. We have asked the owner to change the description to reflect this for others so everyone can make a more informed decision prior to booking. It actually saddens me to write this review because everything leading up to our arrival felt lovely, communicative and helpful. Rebecca is a terrific human. Her home is wonderful for people without cat allergies.
