I wish I had read all the reviews closely - I just skimmed them and it turned out to be a big issue. I booked for a week but ended up leaving after two days. The host has two dogs, not one, and they are not trained. One wasn’t neutered and the other is pregnant. I have a puppy who isn’t spayed yet so I was constantly supervising. If I had known I wouldn’t have booked this place; I loved the idea that my pup would have a buddy to play with but I ended up spending a lot of energy keeping them from making little frenchiedoodles.
The biggest issue is that the dogs poop everywhere. Dog poop all over the patio area, which is a really lovely area that I otherwise could’ve enjoyed. There were pee-soaked puppy pads at the entrances, and they would just sit there. Because I didn’t want my dog to catch whatever was causing the diarrhea (parasite, viruses, bacteria are all contagious from sniffing poop) and I also did not want to take in the responsibility of cleaning up her dogs’ messes we were effectively shut up in the bedroom.
She was good about communicating when I first arrived but then never responded to any of my messages. When I told her that one of her dogs had an accident in the living room (gross diarrhea puddle) it sat there for 36 hours. That was honestly the dealbreaker for me. So gross. I booked another Airbnb and ate the cost. I also left quietly because, after seeing how mean her responses are to bad reviews, I was afraid of a confrontation.
Other than all this, I can say that she was very kind and nice to me. I didn’t have any problems with music blaring or drunk people (as other reviewers have complained). She seemed like a very kind and talented artist who enjoys her lifestyle and is overrun by her dogs.
