Amy, thank you for joining,
The worst part of the story is that there will be a 500€ charge for the fire brigade call out fee which the county council collects from home owners.
The carpet installers I contacted with the photos replied: 'there would be a lot of work involved in fixing the damage, we would have to order 4 meters x 6 foot of carpet which is the minimum we can order from a supplier, we would then have to scrape the old carpet and underlay off the floor as it appears to be glued to the ground and then replace an re-glue the area.
I called Airbnb to discuss options and they were to call me back but no response so far. There has been no reply from the guests either.
I just want to know if there is anything that can be done?
This was a once off (well just trying it for a couple of weeks) and certainly not right for the future.
