Let me start off by saying that this home was very easy to book and the communication between the host and myself was very clear. Host was very easy to contact as well and provided prompt responses to any inquiries. The home was very suitable for our party size and was one of the only listings available that would accommodate everyone in our party having their own room. Home was located in a very nice and safe community roughly 35 minutes from LA(during light traffic times). Although the home provided an ample amount of space for our party, we did notice that the home was not very tidy. Several members in our party had to go and buy cleaning products and scrub things such as the bathroom and in particular the toilets. It was clear that the home was not clean due to the amount of dirt on the floors and cobwebs. After walking on the floors in the home, the bottom of our feet and socks were black…very black. In addition, the walls and baseboards were very dirty and it was clear that thorough routine cleaning does not happen in this home. Some of the guests complained that their sheets were not clean and the upstairs rooms on the right side of the house smell of mold and mildew. It was very pungent. The home is in dire need of updates, as one of the bathrooms shower doors doesn’t even close and the linoleum tile is coming up and is covered in mildew. The first 2 days of our stay the showers did not run hot, however, that was fixed when noted. Furniture in the home is very cheap as well(held by duct tape), and not sturdy. It is obvious that the most meager modifications were made in the home. Again, it is a vey beautiful and large home, it’s just very dirty and nasty. Hosts were great communication wise, I would just like for them to take the time out to bring their home up to par in order to continue success in the future, as the home has lots to offer. Guests should not be on vacation scrubbing bathrooms and cleaning the home.
