Three words to describe this house - depleted, disgusting and disturbing. Advertised as a mansion, our group of 5 decided on this place for location - high end Shaughnessy Park right off Grandville. We have done this trip 3 times prior to Covid-19 and this was our "return" to this great neighborhood. But this place appears to be ready for demolition with a "Development Permit" sign and plans for a new house on large display in front.
Depleted...broken doors, shower curtain fell down continually, knobs on shower fell off, upstairs toilet did not work, no garbage can or receptacle in any rooms (bathrooms or kitchen), missing knobs on oven, smoke detector not operation, patch work many walls. Many more issues - we stopped looking around. No bathroom hand towels or washcloths. "Towles" were left for us in a pile on the dryer. There were only 6 "towels" (6 bed room place?), but these so called towels were 3/4 size and see through, literally, with no absorption. Bed linens were way below average.
Disgusting...because of no garbage receptacles, prior tenant (we assume) left trash in boxes in driveway, which the crows (and maybe rats) were spreading all over, carpets not vacuumed, mold in showers, counters dirty, place in complete disrepair, ceiling water damage, walls sounded as water was dripping after showers. Not sure anything way really clean and sanitary.
Disturbing...the sounds of rodents in the walls at night was bad, but most of all, a closet in the hall that obviously some one was sleeping in with a lamp, suitcase and bedding (I took pictures). When I arrived the back door was unlocked, so I assume someone has made a bed there and slept in the home when unoccupied. The closet had a bathroom style lock on it, so I assume the person would lock them self when sleeping in case someone arrive as so not to be detected.
We would have left except we needed walking distance to Grandville and 14th (3 blocks from house) and there are no hotels in this area so no options. We were only there in the evenings.
This place is the worst place I have ever stayed. The above description only partial explains this house or how bad it is. I would never consider returning. NEVER. I strongly advise others not to go. I will contact AirBnB and see if this property can be de-listed as I cannot imagine they want there brand on it.
