Lish was wonderful on the phone and had met me upon checking in to give me a tour of her home prior to my long term stay. During the tour I was told to be cautious of the loud neighbors that lived upstairs and to msg her if there was any issues.
After a few days I started settling in and loved the neighborhood and location. The place was hot since theres no ac but a really squeaky fan was provided. I ended up getting my own fan since lish doesnt reside on the property and I did not want to disturb her. The back yard was lovely and also the only access to the property that I was told I can use. It has the odd whiff of feces smell but I'm guessing its from the family of raccoons that live on the upstairs patio. The yard entrance had automatic sensor lights which burnt out. I mentioned it to lish and she did not replace them till half way through my stay.
I received a phone call from lish one afternoon accusing me of partying till 2 am every night. I mentioned to her that it was not me but she insisted that it was and called me a liar. She then said that the basement tenant had said it was me. Earlier that day the upstairs tenants were sitting in the common shared area in the yard and were very polite and conscious of the noise level as I was there with my child. When I explained to her again that it was not me and it could have been the upstairs tenants since i saw them. She got really upset and raised her voice over the phone telling me that I was to keep tabs ok the upstairs tenants and report to her.
I do not feel that it is my place to get involved with any issues that she may have with her tenants.
The days went by and my car got broken into during my stay. While dealing with the issue and speaking with the police. Lish camr to the property, rudely interrupted and told me that she took all the chairs away from the back yard and front porsch to ensure there is no parties at her place. She then left the property without giving me a chance to speak with her about leaving a single chair for me to sit outside. I txted her later on and asked her it she can bring 1 chair back. She felt that my asking indicated that I want a chair to party. I then explained that I sit outside in the morning with my tea and a chair would be appreciated. Instead she did not reply and next morning i was being told that my reservation is being canceled due to my tone of txt msg with lish. I contacted air b n b and explained my side of the story and I was able to stay for the remainder half of the month left.
I never got any chairs in the yard and had to make due with the broken crooked entrance steps.
During my time I got to meet the neighbors and tenants of the property and i am very grateful for them to have made my stay much more enjoyable.
Lishs place was well equipped with towels and kitchen equipment. The decor and colors were a bit much and over the top. It feels like you are living at home sense if you are into the sort of thing.
It has been a night mare dealing with lish as a host. Even tho she does not reside on the property be sure that you will wake up to her or her handy man showing up unannounced to water the yard. There was no safety precautions ever taken on her end considering the pandemic and no respect in regards to moving property around.
It's a shame that the host can turn this place sour. thankfully the neighbors have made this a very lovely memorable stay.
