When I reserved my stay for 34 days (I explained this was not a vacation, I was doing an externship for school), I was told the” cottage” was booked for 3 of the 5 weeks, but an art studio was available to rent. I specifically asked to confirm there was a private bathroom, high speed WiFi, and air conditioning. Prior to my arrival I told that she was going to put me in the cottage for 12 days, then move me to the studio. What could I say. The cottage was nice, but the common area was not air conditioned. The weather was cool, so a/c was not necessary the first 4 days. On the fifth day, I left the a/c in my room on, as the temperature was to rise to 90 degrees, & left the door open so the place would be cool upon my return. My hrs were Mon.-Fri., 8:30 am – 6:30 pm (25 min. drive each way), upon return I worked to upload assignments to school until 10:00 pm. When I returned that day, Diane had gone into my room and turned the air conditioner down. I texted her the following morning, asking her to please not lower the air conditioner, that I did not appreciate coming home to a hot place. I also pulled the shades down, so the sun would not heat up the place. She had come in & opened them. Her reply was that it did not make sense to keep it on high if I was not there. I advised her that the a/c unit in my room was blowing my papers all over, so I needed to use the common area (and I was the only guest at that time). She replied that if I was not renting the whole house so I could not leave everything on. The following day, she became extremely belligerent. She used profanity and said I should I move to a room of a friend's place. I suggested that if there was a problem she should text or call me, but she insisted that she could do as she pleased. Then she wanted me to move my things to the studio (where she was staying) on Thurs. evening & physically move in on Friday evening because people were coming who had rented the entire house. The studio was in a barn – getting to it was an accident waiting to happen. It is filled with junk, pieces of wood, windows, dim lighting, complete with live bats. A/C & filter not cleaned for years. Cobwebs, mold, spiders, bugs, dust everywhere!
