The space feels safe and is in a nice peaceful setting on the outskirts of town. The bed was very comfortable and I appreciated how clean the kitchen was. One of the first things we did when we got there was open the windows to get some fresh air. Each of the windows and the blinds on the windows were covered in thick layers of dust. Each time we went to open the windows we would wash our hands cuz they would literally be covered in grossness. The rest of the place felt pretty clean. There was no laundry soap so we had to go into town to buy some- that felt crummy since we were only staying for 5 days and flying in and out of town. No need for a whole thing of laundry soap. The toilet started leaking when we were there and the host was very responsive and asked that we turn it off for the time being. He also asked if we wanted someone to come look at it at the time. Since we had another bathroom, we decided to not spend part of our vacay getting the toilet fixed. I appreciated that he offered to take care of it. What I didn’t like at all is that we paid $110 as a cleaning fee (no problem there) but then we realized just before we were due to check out that there were house rules posted in the main room that said that we need to take out all the trashes, strip the beds, bring all the towels into one of the bathrooms and hang the wet ones, etc. We started scrambling to try to get all of this done before we checked out and then it dawned on me that we are also paying a pretty good amount to have the house cleaned after we left. My issue here is that the host does not have this posted anywhere on his listing where you can see it ahead of time and know before committing that you are both responsible for cleaning before you go as well as paying a substantial amount to have the place cleaned after you leave. Had I known that, I may not have booked. I don’t mind cleaning after us, I’ve actually done that a few times at other Airbnb’s BUT it was transparently posted in the listing that the cleaning was expected before you committed to renting the space. There was a lack of transparency here and I think that’s crappy. The other issue is that I messaged the host to ask him about it and he responded really aggressively. His initial response was “no response necessary.” I’m bummed to have had an experience like this at an Airbnb, I feel like most hosts are really wonderful to their guests. Most important, I want other potential guests to know what we didn’t know ahead of time before they decide to commit. Overall a decent place, just know you’re expected to clean before you go as well as pay a solid cleaning fee and if you ask the host about it he might not be very kind in his response.
