I have thought a lot about this review. I am hesitant to share specifics but suffice to say, my interaction with Rasha left me feeling so uncomfortable that I spent the first night playing scratch off tickets in the hope that we would win enough money to make us not care about losing the grand we spent to stay here.
For full disclosure I will say a couple of things. I did message Rasha asking if she would make an exception to her no pet policy for our small dog who is never left unattended. She kindly agreed, as long as we paid an additional deposit which we happily did. The following issues are entirely unrelated.
In no particular order, here are some things I think you should know:
-The code that we were given was incorrect. This was the fun moment that I got to meet Rasha and wish like hell that I hadn't.
-This is just a master bedroom with a lock on the door to the house and its own French doors for an entrance.
-The curtains in the bathroom are non-existent and somehow the angles of the photos avoid showing that there is zero privacy. Just huge windows that look directly in to the backyard/courtyard/common area. Very fun and not at all creepy.....
-Also the bathroom door doesn't shut.
-Also we had to rig some extra curtains for the French doors...otherwise you're just laying in bed and anyone could see in.
-The courtyard seating area is unusable due to having spider webs completely covering it (and I know the area to be prone to black widows so I'm not trying to hang out over there)
-Also its unusable because the outdoor light wasn't on or available to us while the host was away which was for all but the first and last night of our 5 day stay.
-Having no outdoor lights made the already inconvenient entryway feel daunting.
-The gate latch is broken and tricky to use, and if not done correctly, swings WIDE open.
Moral of the story: If you care in any way about your privacy, do not stay here.
