This was a bad experience from the start, and probably tops the worst Airbnb experiences I’ve had after 5 years of hosting and traveling.
After booking we were informed that if we wanted to access all of the areas included in the listing we would need to pay a significant amount more to access the “shed” in the back house, which was included as part of the listing description. We weren’t happy about it, we paid as there weren’t really any other listings that had the number of beds we needed this close to arrival.
On arrival to the house itself, it was spotless but not really set up for such a large group. The pullout couch was unusable (stained and collapsing) and one of our group slept on the floor instead.
The yard had also had garbage and broken furniture, and we were looking forward to having a coffee outside only to find for a group of 6 there were only two usable chairs.
To top it off the shed that we had paid so much extra money for smelled of mildew/was damp, seemed to have no insulation because it was freezing at night and heated by a tiny space heater. It also had exposed wiring and an unfinished paint job. Had it been included in the first price it wouldn’t have been a big deal but we could have booked a much nicer listing for the price we ended up paying for something that was only a step above a tent in the backyard.
I felt like this was just a college crash pad we paid way too much money for in the end.
