So where do I start… This Airbnb surely did the job, however, this property has so much potential to provide visitors with the most comfortable and convenient travel experience.
Pros:
· Price: for the price and space you certainly get a bang for your buck. It is definitely rare to find a 4 bedroom 4.5 baths anywhere in California but especially within a budget.
· Check-in: The check-in process was simple, the host emailed me the code information early and we were able to enter the property with no problems.
Cons
· Smell: Upon entering the property there was a significant smell of cigarette smoke. We immediately opened windows to help air out the property.
· Cleanliness: overall cleanliness was far below par, especially since a cleaning fee is included in the overall cost. For example, there were dirty napkins on the floor of the downstairs bathroom, dusty floors, cabinets, and closets. There appeared to be a blood stain and hair strands on the comforters and sheets in room #3. The downstairs furniture certainly needs deep cleaning and perhaps an overall reupholstering.
· Bedrooms: Many of the beds were comfortable, except the master bedroom. The master bed is certainly firm, I would compare it to a wooden plank. I did not get a good night’s sleep in that bed. There were also no extra linens or hand soap provided in the bedrooms or bathrooms.
· Maintenance: There were many light bulbs that needed to be changed throughout the property. The blinds in the living room were broken and missing, which is a concern of safety and security. Also, there were quite a few outlets that did not work.
· Amenities: there were no extra trash bags and no silverware or kitchen utensils. If you intend to warm something up, do what we did and go to Trader Joes to grab the essentials.
