Extremely dirty house (both indoors and outdoors) - there was no cleaning prior to our arrival. We found dust everywhere. Chloe the property manager even told us that the house was not cleaned for several weeks prior to our arrival since it was empty. I was shocked to hear that. We walked in to a house with piles of dirt everywhere. We shared the gross images with Chloe. Our nanny had to spend a great chunk of her time sweeping the floors.
The amount of dirt and filth that exists in this house everywhere is hard to explain.
The cleaner came the next day after our arrival once we complained and did a half job, leaving behind a LOT of dirt underneath the chairs in the dining room and underneath the bathroom mats.
Even after cleaning it is hard to keep the place clean because of the overwhelming amount of vegetation and dust in the general surrounding of the house because of the dirty pond etc.
Dishes were all old, scratched up and some of them were chipped. The non stick pans were burnt and literally not usable.
No microwave in the kitchen. Huge inconvenience.
There is always smell of gas in the house. A repair man was there during our stay to fix the toilet and he said the same thing/
The kitchen sink regurgitates food creating a gross mess to wake up to in the mornings.
Washer and dryer is provided but it is outside the physical structure of the house. It is actually outdoors.
Furniture is extremely old and not comfortable. It is torn at various places with exposed metal studs which is a huge safety hazard for kids. All the seating is at a floor level. Looks cheaper than something you would buy at a thrift store.
No tv in the living room. We did not even spend ONE night lounging in the living room, it is literally that poorly done. We found ways to stay out so we could just come back to crash at the house.
Air vent in the small bedroom blows directly on the bed making it frigid for someone staying there.
The bathroom mats are shedding badly and have large amount of accumulated dust underneath and in between the shag fibers which was so gross that I wanted to throw up.
We found the aesthetics to be very distasteful and cheap. It’s no where close to being bohemian or eclectic. They have cobra lamps and voodoo dolls. The hanging lamps are very old fashioned and something that I would not even want to touch.
Glass chips outside in the fireplace are a hazard for kids. The outdoor furniture is dirty and very old.
The staircase to the roof is very narrow and difficult to access. They seem dangerous. Certainly no kids can access and it also might be difficult for adults unless you’re the skinniest person
We found the overall experience at this property to be sub standard. It is inhabitable. The hygiene and the overall quality of the house is below normal living conditions.
Pls don’t even think about renting this property. Save your money!!
I honestly don’t understand how the owner can charge $1400/ night and get away with it. It looks like the previous reviews must have come from their own family and friends. They don’t seem authentic at all and are in no way an accurate representation.
