I was hoping to continue the high praises other renters gave but I just can't. First of all, we rented Michael's house because the reviews state how clean the place is and cleanliness is always our first priority when choosing an Airbnb. We arrived at the property around 10:30 pm and were able to get the key out of the lock box and open the front door easily. We parked our car in the garage which is great to have instead of street parking. Once we entered through the kitchen I noticed how modern the house was but I didn't have the sense (or smell) that the place was clean. There's nothing better than smelling a light scent of bleach in a rental home. Right away, we noticed lots of crumbs on the dining room table, runner, and placemats. The counters were covered too. After wiping down, we realized the garbage can was very dirty with food/liquid drips so we cleaned that too. Yuck! We took our luggage upstairs to our bedrooms. The bedrooms were fine. I will say it's time to clean the carpets in the house. Lot's of spot stains and just heavy wear and tear including bathroom rugs. I wore my flip flops while in the house (I chose not to wear the dirty slippers by the front door). The bathroom towels were gray and worn and need replacing. The second bathroom had no towels but I found them still in the dryer. I'm hoping Michael gets a better cleaning company because for a home built in 2018 it's already showing signs of heavy wear and tear. The kitchen cabinets/drawers aren't very organized, even the closets had items just thrown in.
Listen, I've stayed at multiple Airbnbs so I'm able to compare to other experiences. My children enjoyed the yard and had a picnic outside and played catch for a while so there is room to play. Overall, the house is great and location too but if the cleaning/maintenance isn't improved then it's definitely going to lose it's rental appeal.
PS. One sliding glass door off the kitchen was shattered and Michael sent an email about it and I hope it's repaired soon.
