When I booked this house, I had told Ileanna the purpose of the visit was for my son’s wedding and my guests would be staying there. She failed to mention that not only is her road extremely steep and narrow (suitable for donkey and cart) but that certain cab drivers refuse to go up that road to pick up and drop off guests. This was a three day wedding event and my guests were subjected to traipsing up the road after a long night of celebration.
Additionally, although I had emailed her one week in advance as to the time and date I would arrive to pick up the keys, she managed to confuse the arrival date. She expected us Friday although I paid for Thursday and stated Thursday between 3P.M. and 4P.M. I had to wait around for the housekeeper to tidy up the place making me late for the wedding rehearsal.
I have booked many Airbnb’s in the past, but this is the first time that the instructions about house rules, ants, coffee machine, garbage and recycling read like a mini novel, including being asked “as a favor” to dump the trash in the village! Really?
She indicated there would be some coffee…….there was not a drop, The blankets in one of the guest rooms were thread bare and in dire need of replacment .
The signs about “ants” in the bedrooms were very unwelcoming.
All in all, I totally regretted the rental and apologized to my guests for a bad choice. I could forgive all but the location. It just was an incredibly difficult path, even in a small car.
