Allyson was helpful during the reservation process; however, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A STAY WITH HER! We arrived to a badly damaged screen door, apparently another dog staying in a camper in the back yard and her dog ran though it. She was a bit eccentric; however, that’s not always a bad thing. The house had dated furniture that she later described as antiques. The house smelled of dog, she has a golden retriever. There is no private entrance and my wife was uncomfortable with that. We left after using the bathroom and attended our function returning rather late. We tried to sleep but my wife was really uncomfortable so we left and stayed at a local hotel. I texted Allyson in the morning as a courtesy to let her know we would not be returning and she never responded. I was contacted by Airbnb case manager regarding a cancellation. I wrote it up as a loss, as I reserved it and my wife was not happy! I never cancelled anything. Airbnb staff was pleasant when I returned the call and stated that they would refund the money according to the hosts cancelation policy. The following day Airbnb contacted me about Allyson seeking an additional $250 due to damage to an antique bureau. The pictures she sent only showed the top of the bureau and it appeared to be blue marker. It looked like a child scribbled on it. Allyson appears to be lying regarding her inspection of her property. Primarily because I know we did not write on anything with a marker. We were with her during a walk through of the property. We returned later in the night and left almost immediately. We did not do such a juvenile act. It appears Allyson is upset that we did not stay at her house and is trying to pay for the damage to her screen door. As I typed this I remember her saying that she knew we were not responsible for the damage to the screen door and some thing to the effect of us not paying for it and that she would have it repaired tomorrow. So Allyson either wants to recoup that money or the money lost due to a refund Airbnb gave me according to her policy which she cancelled! She probably canceled in order to rent it out again and did not realize Airbnb would refund the money. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A STAYWITH Allyson!
