I typically don’t leave airbnb reviews but it is very unfortunate that our experience did not meet expectations. I don’t know why our experience was so different from the reviews left by others in the past.
Check in was easy and communicated ahead of time. Location was in a great place. However, the first night we checked in late and the sheets and pillow cases were covered in blood (how can the cleaner miss that while making the bed, that idk). The second set of sheets available were heavily stained as well. The host handed us “clean” sheets in darker colors the next morning, and didn’t offer to redo the bedding for us or have the cleaner come clean again. The host insinuated that we were not truthful about the dirty sheets because we didn’t show them to her immediately after. But it’s because we just covered the dirty sheets with the “clean” ones and didn’t want to touch or strip the dirty sheets. She is fully capable of inspecting the sheets after our departure.
The unit is at the bottom of their family home, and trust me when I say that you can hear everything. It sometimes sounded like they were building something upstairs because of the loud thuds. Their dog barks incessantly every early morning right at the bedroom’s front door. So prepare to have ear plugs if you stay here.
While it was nice of the host to provide a water filter, I only noticed on the second day when refilling it that the inside was moldy. So I suggest you check it before using it.
Wifi “works” but it is extreeeeeemely slow. I couldn’t load most things on my laptop. So don’t plan to take any work calls here.
Lastly, the listing advertises a queen size bed but to our disappointment, it was a full size bed. One of the legs fell off (literally) when I first sat on the bed. I helped them screw it back on.
The most disappointing part was the host requesting for damage reimbursement after accusing us of breaking items that were already broken when we checked in (she asked why I didn’t tell her they were broken upon check in but why would I message them about a broken curtain rod or chair if they don’t bother me during my stay?). I had initially booked this place for two guests but messaged the host to inform her that a third guest will be staying only for 3 of the 8 nights. The host acknowledged but then later accused us after we checked out of having more guests than stated and attempted to request for additional charge for the third guest for all 8 nights. Her explanation was because there was an additional new pillow in the unit (I bought this for myself to use during the stay because I was grossed out from the lack of cleanliness of the sheets) and because we always had one set of keys in the lock box (but I would always keep a set in the lock box regardless because I am nervous about losing or forgetting keys when I go out).
This was not a cheap stay so I am disappointed to see the host’s response and reaction. This was a below average experience and I would recommend you to consider all the above items before booking your stay.
