Honestly not my best AirBnB experience. The host was very Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde and we constantly felt as if we were walking on eggshells.
For example, the space has a very large spiral staircase that would be difficult for somebody who is older. Our group was there for a wedding in town and we were going to have the brides mother come get ready with us and take pictures before the wedding. Per the listing we asked the host if we could gain access to the space through the main house for the brides mother when she got there to have hair and makeup done. She politely said yes that’s not an issue. The next day as we are in the middle of getting ready for the wedding she stops me outside and essentially accuses me of lying about our purpose for the trip and that we are violating all kinds of rules. This caught me off guard as her, the bride, and myself had a conversation about it in person less then 24 hours prior. Needless to say we did not request access through the main house and the brides mother did not come over.
Another example, the host was very adamant about quiet hours for her guest but had no issues with having a gathering on her porch with loud music after quiet hours on another day.
Not a good place for a group in my opinion.
The space and location are very beautiful and unique as advertised but two of the three bedrooms get really hot. The mini split for the main living area was not able to cool the bedrooms effectively and there are signs on the regular thermostat that state do not touch contact host. We asked if we could get it a bit cooler in the bedrooms, being that it’s the top floor it retains a lot of heat from the sun exposure throughout the day. The host said she would adjust it but we never noticed a difference. Given the circumstances we didn’t feel comfortable asking about it a second time.
Also be sure to document any pre existing damage as stated in the listing. We were charged for a decoration I am pretty sure was damaged when we got there but I didn’t mention it within the hour window given upon check in.
