The place itself is really nice and calm, one can definitely relax.
However, I STRONGLY suggest to reach out to hosts before booking, make sure you get clarification on fees that may be added. Such as pets, additional vehicles, or additional guest. I had a pet and at the time of booking nowhere on the listing did it state that there was a $300 fee. It was sprung on me mid-stay and made me feel uncomfortable to ask for anything and feared that hostility would be shown. Aside from the pet fee Candice (cohost) also requested $50 for an additional vehicle, which is also not disclosed on the listing (on the listing it states free parking and does not state that only one vehicle is allowed). I reached out to Airbnb support and stated that they too cannot see where the fees are disclosed, then they advised me to decline the fees. Candice went on to send me screenshot of the fees that were supposedly on the listing, but when I would check the listing nothing came up anywhere. The screenshot she sent me was what hosts see when they are editing their listing.
Please also note per Airbnb regulations, the pet fee cannot be higher than the day rate, which in this case it was. This goes for all listings. Day rate varies from $180-250, I booked for $194/day, the pet fee is $300….
This was my second time using this platform, this experience decreased the want to use it again. This is definitely a lesson learned for all of us. I wrote this review in hopes that the next person is aware and doesn’t receive an email mid-stay with sneaky fees being requested. I realize that by doing this I risk getting a bad review as retaliation from Candice (cohost), as she has done this in the past. Look under reviews for a gentleman named Tim with a picture of a dog. If you go to his profile you’ll see what I’m referring to.
As mentioned it was a really nice place, just wish there was clarity.
