Not a place for kids. Also, the host is ok if you do not have to communicate with her. I've stayed at over 30 air bnb's and never have I ever felt so disrespected.
The minute we entered the house and walked down the hallway we felt nervous about having two small kids due to the long list of items listed on the wall if there was accidental damages the price you would pay (example, stain on one sheet-$175, kids toys $25-$75, and the list goes on). While trying to relax on vacation the last thing you want is a massive list of what things will cost you if anything breaks or an accident happens. We put all lamps and anything breakable on the higher dressers.
From day 1 there were ants on the dressers, hallway drawers and windows but coming from Australia we were not concerned.
Then the lock broke and I informed Chris- he was very pleasant to talk to and we worked it out, no problems.
Day 3 I messaged them to inform them about the ants because they woke my 3 year old up crawling all over her face. We counted 50 in the bed at one stage. Once again not in the kitchen, living room or any area we had ate or kept food. All food was stored in the fridge and microwave at all times. We had hardly been at the house or ate there yet.
I told her not to worry about it until we left. But it was more about the way Francesca made us feel, for leaving a few crumbs when we left. On the day we were packing we cleaned the house but also left my 15 month year old walk around with a breakfast biscuit because there was no high chair and we were trying to clean the house. Yes she left two crumbs, I think she even spilt the tiniest bit of juice out of her spill-proof cup. Francesca actually sent me a photo of 2 crumbs on the floor, now if that isn't pathetic enough she sent me more of her outdoor rug where my 15 month year old ate before we left. Most host would broom it off, and move on. Due to it being an outdoor rug we weren't too concerned. She told me she had to replace it later which is definitely not the case it was either a tiny pizza crust or a donut which would broom/hose off. I would have been more concerned about the rust all over it from the chairs.
We also left a baby bottle behind that rolled under the rental car seat behind and my little one dropped it on the floor before we left. Most people would just throw it in the trash but Francesca had to remind me that was not part of the cleaning fee. Also, that due to "a few crumbs" she would need to clean more. There was also a small mark on the couch she said we might have to pay for (which I am confident it could have been wiped off). I have never had anything other than a 5 star review and our family was extremely respectful of the property. Not sure why any host would expect someone to stay 6 days (allowing kids) and complain about a few crumbs. I actually think she was just trying to blame us for the ant problem they were well aware of because it was in their listing. But no crumbs were anywhere near where we were eating they were in the beds, on the dressers and in the hallway drawers.
If you stay avoid speaking to Francesca and it might be ok, also don't eat or enjoy yourself or you might leave crumbs.
