Starting the day of our check in and throughout our visit, every message from the host had been preprogrammed. They were the basic messages of rules of the house, welcoming, and reminders of clean up. These messages weren’t bad in themselves. The issue was that we were having problems and asking for assistance and simply got in return, “I hope you are settling in. Let me know if you need anything.”
The day we checked in, there was a snowstorm. We had to shovel the slopped driveway and sidewalk so we could get in without falling. The smoke alarm was beeping, so we had to go out and get a battery. More beeping woke us up at 4 a.m. It took a while to find a carbon monoxide detector that also needed a new battery.
IF the host had been responsive, or had bothered to maintain the property, this stay would have been fine. We still have not heard from the host in response to the issues we had. The last message we received was, “I hope you enjoyed your stay. Please leave a review.” I couldn’t be happier to leave a review.
Oh, one other thing, don’t expect the place to be big enough for 10 people. There may be beds, but that many people would be on top of each other when they weren’t sleeping.
