Response from the manager Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this! I am happy that the holiday home you rented through our company was, overall, good and that you were happy with location and views. We inspect all properties and meet all owners, and the home you rented truly offers an excellent value, and that's before even counting in the owner kindness and generosity. Also thank you for this opportunity to explain how, at times, renting a real private home, gives you opportunities and might have a few shortcomings. I think that this will be very helpful for anyone reading it, and, even if we have discussed this privately, I am happy to report here. Let me start by saying that this holiday home is managed by the owner herself, who lives nearby. We handle enquiries, payments, bookings, support, and when it comes to hospitality the owner takes over. That works very well, as it provides travelers with that authentic experience they look for, and which you enjoyed, while the paperwork is professionally managed through a reliable rental agency (if I may say so myself). Check-in is usually until 8 pm, but, yes, we do understand how international travels go, and how some late evening flights work out to be cheaper, and we are always glad to help. In fact, when you booked we had already arranged for you a 11.30 pm check-in. When, only two days ahead of arrival, your airline rescheduled the flight for arrival at 1.30 in the morning, we tried to reschedule your check-in with the owner as well. As most people, the owner has a job, and, in this specific case, the consequences of going to work without sleep could be devastating. Considering that a 1.30 am check-in means, for the owner, getting back home no earlier than 3 am, the only way would have been taking the day off -- which was ok with the owner as well, except that she was not allowed to do it with such a short advance. Moving the booking to a different holiday home, where a check-in in the middle of the night could be accommodated, was not a suitable option, so we offered the option of extending the stay by one night, in case it worked better for you. We arranged to prorate the low weekly rate, rather than applying the usual daily rate, in order to simplify matters, as we realized that your airline was already giving you a hard time. The amount you stated of £69 is exactly the prorated rate of €90 that was offered (at the exchange rate of that time). I am, of course, sorry, that a check-in in the middle of the night could not be arranged in this case. In our portfolio there are homes that do offer a key-box check-in, or where a 24-hour desk is staffed, or where owners have no other primary occupation -- we know all the different situations, and help guests choose based on their requirements. In this case, for example, you had expressed the need to check-in at 11.30 pm, and we have been able to arrange that. I'd also like to address the other issues you mentioned. Thanks for letting us know about the tepid hairdryer. I'll report back to the owner so that she can replace it - owners who live in town usually don't happen to use the appliances in their second homes, and so won't know until reported. As for the final cleaning fee, again that varies from home to home. Some homes have it weekly, some have it at the end of the stay, some have none at all. I prefer none at all, but what really matters, indeed, is the final amount. We try to do a good job of listing any fee upfront, so that travelers are always informed before making their reservation. Regarding the change of towels, I will suggest the owner to offer that service explicitly. As the house is self-catering and only has a final cleaning fee (vs. a weekly cleaning fee) and offers its own free-to-use washer, guests who stay for an extended period of time usually wash as required, at no cost. The owner would have no troubles in cleaning the house and changing the linens/towels as often as required, although I can understand how, in our culture, it would sound kind of "pushy" to offer a paid service when guests can have it for free. Thanks for the good suggestion! In summary, I have to say that I am sorry that we could not accommodate your request to check-in at this specific property in the middle of the night. I feel that we offered all the options that we had available, and tried to minimize the financial impact of the rescheduling of your flight. I understand that we are getting two stars out of five because the airline changed your plans, and I accept your judgement -- particularly because I know that most readers will be curious to learn how we managed to get two stars, and doing so they will also see how renting a holiday home can be different than renting a hotel, where in most cases you have a 24-hour desk. Thank you again, Luca
