We truly had a great stay, in many ways. The location was perfect, the condo design was stunning, and also functional. We were very appreciative of the good communication with Cohobnb while we were there.
Unfortunately, we would not stay here again, and we won’t be able to recommend this property, due to the significant amount of black mold on the master bathroom floor. I had quite a flare up in my health because of this mold, even though we tried our best to mitigate with air purifiers, nasal rinses, and supplements. The mold exposure impacted my ability to have the energy to do all that I had hoped to do on our trip, and it took me well over a week to recover.
I am more sensitive than most to mold, due to my past health issues, but having studied the dangers of toxic mold exposure, I know it will impact the health of anyone who stays there, just in a variety of ways. (From headaches, to allergies, to neurological flare ups, like what I experienced.) I sent a thorough note to the property owners on why I believe they should remove the source of the mold for the sake of everyone’s health, and how it affected my stay. They said they would pass on the information, but I haven’t received any indicator that they are taking it seriously at this point.
One of my biggest frustrations is that the photo of the master bathroom on VRBO is cropped, so that you don’t see the moldy tile. I want to give Cohobnb the benefit of the doubt as much as possible, but this honestly feels a bit deceitful to me.
I let Cohobnb know that I would be able to recommend their property if I see that they take this seriously, and commit to remediating the mold. I’m hoping and praying that they do.
