Upon entry into this house, my wife and I were surprised to find a severe animal urine smell coming from the carpet and couches. Even with all the windows open, the smell was so bad that we both became very ill. We immediately messaged, called, emailed, and texted the host, but received no response for over 12 hours. After a couple hours of trying to stick it out, we where forced to leave for health concerns. We ended up staying at a hotel for the 3 nights instead. We were denied even a partial refund.
The host was unresponsive and overall it was a very unpleasant experience for me and my wife.
The location was great, and the house was set up nice, but the communication with the host was extremely difficult and the smell seemed hazardous to our health.
My wife and I are not picky people, we regularly go camping and backpacking, and stay in low end hotels all the time. But the animal urine smell was more than we could bear.
