Overall, the stay was fine. The owners/hosts were very attentive and helpful to try and fix some of the issues we had. The pool is really nice and the outdoor area was great to relax. The location is near the highway and close to the city.
Some challenges: The overall cleanliness was not at the level expected nor what was indicated on the “COVID” list. I am not sure if the place was vacant for a while or what, but I wiped the counters (inside) with antibacterial wipes and the there filthy. Not sure if it is the dust in the desert like area, but it was not recently cleaned. Secondly, the refrigerator has not been cleaned for a long time and had to wipe out a lot of old food stains and other to make the family feel comfortable. Third, the beds have essentially rental quality mattresses, meaning no padding and you could feel the springs. Our son’s (6 years old) sheets smelled like mildew enough so that he had to sleep on the couch the first night. We aired out the mattress and the host brought new sheets that smelt ALOT better and solved most of the smell. Lastly, there were a lot of ants everywhere, but not sure if they could be avoided due to the location. The host were attentive and brought any spray as well as sprayed it theirselves. There was also a problem with one of the A/C units, but the host worked extremely fast to get it fixed, so that was a positive in my book.
The hosts tried to address everything and were very fast at working to make things right, we just wished the place met our expectations from the start.
Overall, based on the price, location, and experience, I would recommend the place if you can find it on a deal.
