Natasha and Luke extended their stay when I needed it.
We were really disappointed by this sit, especially considering all of their good reviews. The two biggest concerns were communication and tidiness. While we were gone, we didn't hear from them for days on end, and if we wanted updates we had to repeatedly write them asking if everything was okay. When we came home, we were so disappointed to find the apartment so dirty! We left it absolutely spotless and came home to what felt like a well-used Airbnb, with stains on the tables and floors, dried pee on the toilet seat, kitchen items soaked in oil... Ironically, although most things were so dirty, they did scrub our stone countertops with oven cleaner which destroyed the finish. As for the pets: from the day we came home the cats jumped onto the tables and countertops and took food right off our plates! They have NEVER done this before and obviously this is not okay! Additionally, among the food on the floor were raisins, which are poisonous to dogs. These are just the highlights. While nothing totally catastrophic happened, we would not recommend Fabian and Paul for a longer sit to any of our friends or family. For us it was not worth the worry while gone or the stress upon return.
