House / Villa - Cap d'Antibes

This place may look reasonable in the photos but it's anything but. I doubt it's been decorated for 60 years, and it is therefore beyond proper cleaning. What's worst of all is the smell which is overpowering. Maybe it's not actually urine but it certainly smells like it is and it's everywhere throughout the house, in the beds and the bedding. We walked in and walked straight out choking. We then had to find an hotel for our family for a week - not easy on the Cap in the middle of August. We spoke to the owner who seemed to think that she had delivered based on the photos on the HomeAway site, even though we pointed out that you can't see the smell on the internet. Although we didn't even stay there we were charged for 'cleaning'. Clearly, this is one of a number of rentals on the Cap where owners are gaming the system and renting out property below acceptable quality because of the money. The owner said this place could sleep 10, which is simply disingenuous. We asked to be refunded but were ignored. Anyone who rents this place will be disappointed and risks having their holiday ruined. HomeAway rely on both parties having decency and integrity which was blatantly lacking here. Avoid! Shame I have to give it one star to submit the review.
