While Barbara seems very nice and shared some useful information about entry and the somewhat unconventional configuration of sleeping arrangements, I found the Airbnb to be not up to expectation.
Firstly, I had a few safety concerns about entry into the house and separately for the potential of unsolicited access from realtors since the house was “For Sale”.
Secondly, upon doing a walkthrough of the property it was very clear that it was not cleaned thoroughly. I took pictures to illustrate the uncleanliness. There were dead bugs scattered in different parts of the main living space, dirty rug in the living room, several used bars of soap inside the showers and sinks, hair in the sink. It was not comfortable to see those things in what my expectation of a clean, nice home would be or to the caliber of once hosting F1 drivers and team owners.
Thirdly and quite frankly my biggest gripe with the property is that the listing photos and the actual property layout and furnishings did not match whatsoever. I very much felt like this was a bait and switch situation. Lured in with photos of a nice, curated place and then guests arrive to somewhere not at all described.
Fourth issue and I am aware that nothing can be easily done to remedy this for future guests, but the pipes are extremely loud in the bedrooms when someone in the adjoining bathroom is using the shower. It made it very difficult to fall asleep or get some much needed rest.
Overall, the house was fine to lay our heads down, but the experience was a little unsavory, especially given how much we were spending to stay there.
