From the outside, the cottage was pristine plus perfect in every way.
The windows, the paint, even the landscape around the long winding driveway, it all was so picturesque.
Once all of us stepped inside, things were different. The website had not posted several pictures of the interior of the cottage, plus now all of us saw why! It was not dirty, but it was shabby, plus it odored moldy. Always be super careful about your AirBnB rentals, people, or you can end up stuck in a dump like this cottage! When all of us made the decision to go to turn on the central a/c, the odor only got worse. The two of us came to learn that the cottage itself was quite clean, but the air duct for that old, grimey a/c was the problem. Apparently the owners were only concerned about appearances, because once I removed the grate off one of the air vents, I saw how horrifically dirty the air duct had gotten. These people had apparently never cleaned out the air ducts once, plus there was a thick coating of dust plus detritus all through the system. In general, air duct in an Heating as well as Air Conditioning system needs to be cleaned out every various to 3 years at least. I called up the rental agent to complain, plus demanded a full refund. There would not be time for a cleaning of the air ductwork, plus I felt it was unsafe for us to stay there for the weekend. I wanted a refund so I could check us into a nice motel with a nice, disinfect a/c, plus beginning enjoying our weekend.
