We did not end up staying with Rene due to my and my partner’s allergies against his dog. This is probably my own fault for not clarifying prior.
Rene was extremely kind and understanding. I was grateful that he was so sympathetic towards my family’s condition despite his own inconvenience of waiting up for our arrival. He and his family were so sweet, ready to welcome us. I wish we could have stayed because the house looked very clean, well appointed with stylish furnishings and the room looked cozy just like the photos.
Airbnb can use more accommodating hosts like Rene and his family!
