I want to be fair and objective about our stay with Wallis. Here’s the good, the bad and the ugly.
Check-in was wonderful. Wallis allowed us to check in a few hours ahead of time, which we really appreciated.
The space was very nice: stylish, clean, comfortable, well equipped (except for extra blankets), and very well located.
As mentioned previously, a simple request for two more blankets was met by Wallis with resistance and we only got tiny blankets.
My daughter and her friend showed up to visit with a small dog, which we kept on leash and outside. When Wallis saw this, she was quite agitated and gave us a lecture about how no pets are allowed. We gladly agreed to move the dog and did so immediately. I was wrong to allow the dog to be there. Since I have no pets and didn’t know my daughter was bringing one over, I hadn’t studied the house rules regarding pets.
We paid a $50 cleaning fee but our check out instructions included directions on how to clean before we left: put out recycling; start laundry; etc. (We did what we could, but not everything as we were getting ready for a 12 hour drive the day we left. )This was quite off putting. I’ve stayed in scores of AirBNBs all over the world, and have never received instructions to clean the house before I left.
In summary, I highly recommend this place. Just be prepared for curt communications if you need something or do something wrong, and be prepared to spend an hour cleaning before you check out.
