We are a good family with 6 children, business owners. We booked this home for 1 month for business.
1.There is a workshop with about 5 men or so making knives and swords 30 yards away from the home, smoking, and sometimes loud. There was no discloser of this before our arrival. Our children couldn’t go outside, made my wife uncomfortable, and we were concerned with our children well fare. There were cigarette butts everywhere outside the home where we had to pick them up, and being nonsmokers, this made us uncomfortable.
2.The owner lives right down the street and is there constantly. We found him peeping in our windows and we caught him in the house on our being away via baby cam. Not Private.
3.There were smell good product everywhere, and dangerous for our kids, and when it wears off, you can smell mildew and old house. Our kids were sneezing constantly. Very bad smell. Our kids also found old mouse traps, things in drawers and nick knacks that are just flat out dangerous. Not set up well for children.
4.The septic tank flooded 2 times. 1. We thought it might have been our fault. He said there were baby wipes but pulled out, with leaves and other things as well. Our son is Autistic and would prefer to use the baby’s flushable baby wipes and would sneak them sometimes. It was resolved quickly with no damage. But the owner would have us clean up the mess. 2. The 1st plumber didn’t get everything out, so a different plumber showed up and he indicated that the previous plumber may have not removed everything. The plumber fixed the problem, but the flood went everywhere. The owner had us deal with the mess, with cleaning towels and blankets we had to use, getting the water up and with drying the floor. We stayed at the home for a remaining of more than 2 weeks, without his offering to do anything about it. I smelled very bad for the remaining of our stay.
5.On our departure, we cleaned the home, put everything back. We gathered all the linins and laundry and put them into piles that were easy to get too, including closet next to the bathroom that flooded downstairs smelled extremely bad. We left the place clean. Our children did some damage to the dishes and their nick knacks, and some DVD’s, but we had bought accidental insurance on reserving this home as to cover things like that.
6.After our departure, the owner left a crude message and was trying to get money out of us. We just couldn’t believe it. It was just so farfetched! Very BAD!
