After reading all the good reviews about this place, I think they may have just had an “off” hosting time for our stay. The people right before us broke the air conditioner, so we spent half of our day when we arrived trying to fix it or set it up to function while we were there (which turned into us setting it on the couch which we were unable to use as a result). The host was there every single day of our vacation trying to fix it. We would have been fine with the AC after we got it situated. The last day of our vacation we went out to lunch and came to the Airbnb to take a nap but the host was there unexpectedly and we had to sit outside and wait for him and his maintenance man to finally fix the AC. It was bad enough that we weren’t able to relax in the home we were paying for but our privacy was violated when he showed up without warning. Also, there were ants crawling all over the kitchen countertop and utensils near the sink. It made us extremely uncomfortable. He provided some ant spray to address the issue which helped some but we felt pretty gross being there.
I know that the host was just trying to fix the ac unit but I think the situation could’ve been handled better. Overall, we were extremely dissatisfied. This was our first Airbnb and likely our last.
