Misleading Listing and Insect Infestation: A Nightmare Stay
Publié le 23 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayOur experience at this property was extremely disappointing. The listing falsely advertised it as a ground floor property, but upon arrival, we discovered it was actually a basement unit requiring several flights of stairs to access. The property itself was poorly maintained and lacked basic cleanliness. There was mould throughout the property and the mattress of the sofa bed was dirty.
Upon arrival, the unit was infested with insects, such as cockroaches, centipedes, and bed bugs, among others I didn't even recognise. The kitchen had cockroaches crawling on the countertops and inside the cabinets. The bathroom also had centipedes, making it very uncomfortable to use. Within five nights, I was covered in bites from the bed bugs. There were gaps behind the cabinets and sinks which I suspect is how the insects were entering the unit.
When I contacted the host about these issues, their response was dismissive and unhelpful. They insisted that the property was a ground floor unit despite clear evidence to the contrary and ignored evidence I provided of the insect infestation. The host’s refusal to acknowledge the problems and their attempts to downplay the severity of the situation were incredibly frustrating.
We had booked for a month but had to leave after just five nights due to the unbearable conditions. This experience completely ruined our vacation. I strongly advise others to avoid this property, both because of the poor conditions and the host’s dismissive behaviour.

We welcomed you to start your new life in Canada.You stayed 3 nights. You reported your mother was seeing ghosts, that she had asthma, was having trouble sleeping having just arrived from abroad. We empathized with you and said these were things we could not address. You said you had to put your mother up in a hotel.
You then threatened to leave and demanded your money back. Then you said you found cockroaches. At our cost we hired an exterminator to check and fumigate. We reported to you that he found no cockroaches or insects or bedbugs.
And now in the review with more comment…the description and instructions on arrival that direct you down stairs to enter the unit on a beautiful private ravine, a basement walkout, etc. The suite is professionally cleaned after every vacancy. The suite had been freshly painted prior to your arrival as per our regular maintenance. There is no mould anywhere in the unit.
You left to stay elsewhere? We wonder if this was a scam? We would not recommend these guests to another host.
We also complained to VRBO about your false and misleading review.

Needs renovation and more attention to detail
Publié le 30 oct. 2023 sur HomeAwayI liked the:
- size: very spacious;
- view of wooded ravine from living room;
- homely feel of living room;
- comfortable bed;
- lack of traffic noise;
- beautiful road in which house is situated;
- nearby trails;
- responsiveness of hosts to my requests and their concern to put things right quickly;
- gift card from hosts for the trouble I'd been caused;
- new electric kettle from hosts to replace stovetop kettle.
I didn't like the following:
- Lack of basic provisions on arrival. Having just travelled from airport about 9 pm, I couldn't even make myself a hot drink.
- On arrival, the feeling of cold and damp. However, hosts quickly responded by turning on heating.
- Heating is controlled by hosts, although they were responsive to my requests for temperature changes.
- Heating system is very noisy.
- Accommodation appears rather scruffy in places, for example marks on walls and skirting board coming away from wall in bathroom.
- Accommodation was not cleaned very thoroughly, for example limescale on shower head, dirty oven.
- Nowhere in bathroom to hang clothes.
- No side plates in kitchen.
- No mirror in bedroom.
- Mould around washer door seal. I couldn't clean this off because it's become "permanent".
- There was no laundry basket. However, when I mentioned this, hosts immediately provided one.
- There appears to be no soundproofing around apartment. So, you can hear talking, footsteps, coughing and so on from hosts, though it's very quiet for most of the day.

We are sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations.
The kitchen is fully equipped with more than the basics, providing both stove top kettle and microwave to prepare hot drinks and food at any time. Your request for an electric kettle was granted on day one of your visit.
Arrival at night with lights on and average home temperature was immediately adjusted for your personal preference as requested. The temperature was kept high throughout your visit with the addition of a portable oil heater that effectively raised the temperature even higher to your liking in the entire suite.
The baseboard behind the toilet had popped in one place and has now been put in place, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Marks from luggage and general use are natural and unfortunate with guest turnover. The entire suite has been painted since you left, it's unfortunate that the scheduled bi annual maintenance occurred after your visit with a suitable gap between guests to ensure the suite is kept up to a high standard.
The oven floor has coloured in one area through use, very normal, and does not affect the function in any way of the unit. The oven is thoroughly cleaned after each guest vacates.
Hard water is the culprit of limescale, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We will add a mirror, as this does seem like a good addition to the bedroom, although we have not had a request for such; same for laundry basket.
We do everything we can to make our guests feel comfortable in our home. It was built as a single family home and therefore our guests will experience the benefits and challenges of sharing it with us. We have been welcoming guests for three years and have, until your review, had extremely satisfied customers and excellent reviews. We hope you find the perfect place for your next visit to our area as ours clearly did not meet your exacting standards.

Everything you need.
Publié le 30 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayThe property was exactly as advertised. Enjoyed morning coffee on the back porch. Bed was comfortable and the room was quiet.
There is a lot of space. The bedroom, kitchen and living space are all large.
We used the bus and it is about a seven minute walk to the bus stop.
Tom and Susan were great hosts and responded to any questions within a few minutes.
We recommend this property.
