My boyfriend and I stayed in this suite for nearly two months in July-August 2021.
For several reasons, we would not recommend staying there.
The hosts adopted a dog sometime last year, and the dog is not well socialized. We both adore dogs and tried to give her treats (at the host’s instruction), but it did not help. She anxiously barked, which transitioned into more aggressive barks as we continued living there. This would make taking out the trash and our bikes, as well as using the balcony extremely unpleasant. We were told that she was like this to everyone but her family and that she will now be muzzled in her own backyard. Towards the end of our stay, she made a lunge for me as I tried to take out my bike. Until the dog is properly trained, it will be a nuisance to guests, rendering the balcony nearly unusable and taking out the trash very unpleasant if she is outside.
We had requested to drop some belongings off the day before our reservation started, which the host readily agreed to. However, when I arrived, the host was cleaning in his underwear. He did not seem to realize that this was unprofessional, and continued cleaning in his underwear for a bit before leaving.
The condition of the bathroom fan was not checked before we arrived and thus had to be fixed during our stay. While we did not mind, there was some mismanagement of time as the host removed the fan a couple of days before the replacement actually arrived. So we had a giant hole that was leaking sawdust and insulation everywhere.
We brought a portable AC with us as the unit overheats in the summer, which the hosts knew about. It leaked and we informed the host, Steve, who seemed unconcerned. Obviously we knew about the leak and took care not to have water all over the floor. We noticed a small stain as we left, but it was so small that we did not take any pictures (regrettably) and thought it was regular wear-and-tear. The hosts contacted us, informing us that they would like to re-do the entire apartment floor because of this, and at our expense. This is blatantly an attempt at using two students to pay for a new floor, which would up their property value. They expressed disappointment at how we asked to deal with AirBnB instead of directly with them, clearly hoping we would pay some portion of the couple of thousand dollars they are now asking for without a fuss.
For the reasons above, I would not recommend this listing. Our stay was acceptable, but we are now stuck in a dispute that will likely last longer than our reservation at Suhee and Steve’s suite.
