Pity about the toxic fumes, every time we opened a kitchen cabinet, which we thought must be some very rancid oil hiding in the depths. When the “technician” (who acted more like someone with authority) finally dropped in after 2 days to get the tv working, it turned out they had not bothered to reserve time between bookings for the (particularly stinky) paint to dry
His response was to instruct us to keep the windows open whenever out, even though the temperature had dropped significantly (8-16°C / 47-61°F throughout) and there was no heating (a tiny Gallic shrug was his response, as he obviously knew this). Even when we decided freezing would be the better choice, the disgusting odour hit us on every return. Also, within 48 hours, the rank smell had sunk into our clothing - the man’s only reaction to our pointing this out had been annoyance.
After checking out, we found we could not post our review via VRBO due to a "technical error” that was never explained. In the meantime, the hosts (PVA) invited us to review through them, giving them control. 10 days of persistence was required to get VRBO to rectify this and enable us to directly post our review, which we found rather odd...
