I know rules & whether they are followed or not can either make/break a persons stay, however this was the most traumatic rental experience I have ever had. Clearly this was Judith own personal home which is fine. But I did not expect her to occupy the home while I was there, have to hear her walking above me all throughout the house & her dog barking. What exactly am I paying for at that point ? A roommate ? Companionship?
I also did not expect to be met at the door indicating to take my shoes of right away. Again , I have the upmost respect for people & the way they want their houses to be ran , but If your going to be anal & uptight about it , how about providing some shoe covers at the door. Instead I was “greeted” more like guarded at the door & wasn’t really allowed to even make a full circle in the home without taking my shoes off first. I had on sandals & I’m honestly not even comfortable walking bare foot through someone else’s home, but that were the circumstances I was immediately under within the first 5 minutes of arrival.
Judith showed me to my room & that was all. The living room & use of the kitchen was advertised in this listing , I was just a little thrown off how I was just escorted to my room & that was it. If I wanted to even watch tv, at that particular time of my stay, Judith was occupying the living room. Again, what exactly am I paying for ?? If I wanted to add a guest it was an additional $60. And that was only one person allowed.
I was from out of town, looking for a convenient spot to regroup, refresh, and really just lay my head for the weekend. It was never to be a party , but my guest couldn’t even come over to change there clothes. They were not allowed. What am I paying for exactly ?? An Airbnb is supposed to be a home away from home & I couldn’t even have people over. A gathering of people in one area is not a party by the way. I didn’t even stay the night in the Airbnb , I took a shower & rented a room elsewhere.
She should take the time to be so anal about her guest experience & invest in better wash cloths & towels, toiletries , etc. Actually removing dust bunnies from around the desk space, window seal & bed . Removing hair out of the shower , instead of standing at the door with your watchdog. I didn’t even need the passcode to get in the house because she was standing right there ! Or how about investing in a tv in the guest bedroom , since the living room may/may not be occupied by the owner at the time. I mean my goodness !
