STAY INSIDE YOUR AirBnB
Originally, I would have marked this stay for 5 stars because the host is very accommodating and seems really genuine. We even talked about going to camping together and being friends in the beginning.
However, the host has a dog that barks a lot when she put him down; which she claims, “he just wants attention and to be picked up.” When I came back from the kitchen, I tried to motion to the dog to come out of my AirBnB. The dog randomly bit me enough to cause a small but noticeable puncture wound and bruising to my hand. And this is coming from a dog person who has never gotten bitten prior and gets along really well with all animals until now. I even have extensive history working with rescued animals (mainly dogs and cats).
Let’s just say, “lesson learned”. Keep your doors closed. I told the host that her dog bit me and she said, “just keep talking to your sister” and then proceeded to close the door. The whole situation was ignored, my hand was throbbing for a few hours. I was also afraid to come out of the room after to use the kitchen and was in shock to say the least.
It’s a bit saddening for me to write this but I felt called to speak the truth. If you feel called to stay here, I would recommend:
* Being careful about the dog. She said the dog just barks for attention and that I encouraged me to bring my child...glad I didn’t because of the safety concern.
* Bringing earplugs if you are a light sleeper like myself. I only got 4 hours of sleep...The host can stay up late watching TV or talking on the phone. Not to mention that you are near the street and there are parking stalls from other tenants just feet from the room. You can also hear upstairs...It’s much quieter during the day.
* Dog poop on floor and pee on doggy pad right in the bathroom next to the master bedroom (door is open so I could see it)
* Host claims to be Covid safe but does not wear a mask and didn’t take my temperature. I am not Covid sensitive like some so it didn’t personally bother me but this may not be the place for you if you are Covid sensitive.
PROS
* The host is very accommodating and goes above and beyond. She even offered to share her food.
* The AirBnB itself is definitely luxurious and comes with a robe (just remember to bring your own shampoo and conditioner
* A mini fridge in the AirBnB with 2 complimentary water bottles
* A spacious closet and large private bathroom in the master bedroom with beautiful decor
* A small dining table in the AirBnB
* It’s own hot water pot and coffee maker with tea and coffee provided.
* An extension cord for multiple charging use
* And a TV that I did not use
With all this being said, it went from a 5 star and beyond stay to about 2 stars for me.
