The house is spacious, in a great neighborhood, and has incredible views. Unfortunately we didn’t think it lived up to the “luxury” standard stated in the ad. For example, some faucets don’t work, the kitchen cabinets are rickety, one of the toilets literally rocks off the floor when you sit on it, much of the outdoor furniture was covered in dust and spiderwebs, and the dishware includes a set of purple plastic cups and the sort of mule mug you’d find in a deluxe box of liquor (it even says Belvedere on it). It all gives the impression of a party house more than a luxury beach getaway, which is fine, but not the vibe we wanted or thought we were getting based on the photos; it also clearly isn’t the vibe Yervant wants from the house, as he called us the day before check in to read out loud to us the house rules, which frankly has never happened to me before from any of the AirBnBs I’ve stayed at, and though Yervant was nice he gave me the impression that we weren’t totally welcome at the house and that he was doing us a favor by letting us stay there. (He began the conversation by telling us that his “license to rent the property is worth more to
me than your two night stay,”). All in all the pros probably outweigh the cons, but it definitely wasn’t at all the sort of experience we expected, especially for the outrageous cost.
