This house is close to town and has many amenities. It also has a large bat colony living INSIDE the ceiling and walls of the house. The host notified us the day of checkin that there was a bat colony at the property but did not tell us it was inside the house. We woke up the first night to bats swooping around and landing on the bed. Everyday for four days the host had to come remove bats from inside the bedroom, living room and bathroom. The walls upstairs are stained with bat urine and feces seeping through from the bat nest. We had to clean up bat feces daily from the bathroom and main living area floors. We notified the host of two guests with high risk health conditions and she offered to help finding a new place or compensation for the mess. The worst part was the host gaslighting us about the bat issue. Talk about a health risk.
In addition to the bats, the house needs better cleaning and maintenance. There was a major issue with the floor in the kitchen, causing tripping. I insisted the host remove the damaged floor so our guest who was recovering from spine surgery would not have an accident. The ice maker is broken, the washing machine is moldy, 3 of the 5 beds were only partially made, and many light bulbs were burnt out. Host was made aware of all issues in a timely manner and indicated to us that these issues have been outstanding for a month or more.
If you’re looking for a clean, sanitary home, this is not it.
