Great Location/Nice Property/Amazing Views: I just won't be using this company again.
During normal circumstances this location would have been amazing. great views, clean/spacious rooms, well stocked kitchen, good entertainment. That's why I gave it 4 stars. Why not 5 stars?
The host decided to book a plumber for Property maintenance before I arrived and did not notify me until 4:00pm (check-in time) the day of my arrival. The plumber (as they always do) found an issue and instead of taking 2 days, remained there for the majority of our stay.
1. We heard construction the entire length of our stay
2. Guests couldn't park close to the property during the day because the plumbers huge van was parked directly in front of the house
3. They turned the water off twice during crucial points of our stay, pushing back plans.
4. a large portion of the front yard was pulled up, ruining the esthetic.
It really ruined our experience. The host stayed in contact with us and was nice enough to offer explanation and apology. They even called (i was in meetings).
My issue is just that I was not notified in advance of my arrival. If I was (even if it was 2 hours before), I would have immediately canceled. This was inconsiderate of the host.
If you book properties with them please make sure you ask about maitenance before you book. Hopefully they are preemptive and tell you in advance. They didn't tell us. Ruined our experience.
