Our stay at David and Janes was unfortunately average at best.
We made an effort for them to know our eta (which was 8pm at night), yet when we checked in, there were things that weren’t clean, and went against the reviews and pictures.
The furniture has not been put together well, the headboards of both the beds have not been attached properly and every time you move it rattles loudly. There were stains on the sofa from previous stays and some of the furniture was chipped as well. The drawer with the hairdryer was full of small hair from previous guests (pictures were sent to the host as well)
There were a LOT of “rules” coming in. Before booking the posting mentions very few rules, after booking there is a long list you have to go through, which we did. However, all communication with the hosts include more and more rules. They seem to be assuming the worst of their guests, which doesn’t come off well, I don’t understand why all of their rules can’t be mentioned in their pre booking page. Only when we sent pictures of things that were amiss, did the “rules” messages stop.
Over all, we wanted to leave and move out as soon as possible, which is not what you want to feel when you are paying 5000 dollars for an Airbnb. The neighborhood was convenient to access quick groceries and deliveries, but it did not feel very safe. We did notice quite a few damaged vehicles in the neighborhood.
Some of the pros were that our privacy was well respected, response to things like pests and cockroaches etc. were very quick and efficient and towards the end the hosts sent us a nice note and thoughtful gift.
