Melanie was a great communicator, but unfortunately her place was very dirty and unkept. I knew it was an older home, which I usually find charming but this spot was just not well kept. Nicely decorated, but on closer inspection after our arrival you could see the whole place needed a deep cleaning.
Cobwebs in corners, sticks holding windows closed, hair and dirt marks found in bed, fridge was dirty, backyard was in disarray and a fence had fallen down making it unsafe. We left 10 minutes after arriving and were able to get a full refund due to the condition of this Airbnb. I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs around the world and some barely just a bed, but they were CLEAN and showed pride of ownership. This place just looked like an apartment flipped to make money.
Too bad people are taking advantage of making money from hosting but not providing the experience and quality that comes with hosting a place you truly love and want to share.
