I'm sorry to have to leave this review. Molly was apologetic and offered us a refund, but it's important to me to be honest for future guests. We left our stay early -- as soon as we could find alternative housing. The house was not as advertised. It's listed as "Completely Sanitized, Immaculate Cottage Retreat," but was clear from the first night that the house was not sanitized. And it did not meet an ordinary standard of cleanliness. As soon as we arrived, we noticed significant dust and debris under the chairs and the sofa. There were hairs on the bathroom sink that were not ours. The bathtub had hairs and debris in the bottom -- probably caused by the slow drainage. These things made us wonder what had actually been cleaned in the house before we arrived, and what had not been cleaned for weeks. On the second night, we spilled some water on the floor in one of the bedrooms. We wiped it with a towel, and the towel came up dark brown -- dirt from the floor that had not been cleaned for a long time. This is particularly unsettling right now, given the pandemic and the risks of renting to new guests without cleaning. On our last morning in the house, I found a dead cockroach next to the kitchen sink. Later that day, I realized I had bug bites all over my legs, hips, and stomach. We suspect there may have been bedbugs in the bedding. I'm still itching two days later.
On top of the cleanliness and bug issues, the neighbors are very loud and we heard them up talking late at night, having some kind of party on multiple nights. And we could hear every footstep above us. We were woken up several times almost every night. Molly was very receptive when we shared these concerns. I hope the house can improve with some TLC.
