There was a strong presence of gnats. Those pesky little critters were in the elevator, which is warm, so I did not think anything of that. BUT, they were in the loft; mainly the living room, kitchen and master bed & bath. I can only assume they were so bad due to the loft being located directly over the dumpsters next to the building.
The host had a flying insect spray delivered and it seemed to do nothing. I sent a message suggesting they invest in a flying insect apparatus that will attract and eliminate flying insects, and the host replied with, "Hmmm ok. Never had a gnat issue so I will get it addressed." I replied with, "Not asking for anyting. Just making you aware."
On our final day, we did not have to return to the airport right away, so I sent a message asking for extra time, but immediately sent a "Never mind" when my husband attempted to eat while the gnats were trying to snack on his peach at the same time. Ughhhh
Perhaps the host will have the windows and closures checked to ensure these permanent guests are not around for future paying guest.
Other than the gnats, I thought everything else was really, really nice. Pool table and board games was a plus!
