To tell the truth, I don’t even know if this place will be available...there is a for sale sign in the yard. I have stayed in many Airbnb’s, but this one was unique. I had a nagging feeling about it that I have never experienced before. Location was great, clean enough, seemed okay, but still the feeling.
I had not gotten any checkin info so I called (I also wanted to see if we could check in earlier by 30 minutes)and Fellipe said yes, the maid should still be there. Well she wasn’t so had to call again and he gave us combo for key lockbox on the fence. There are three keys on the ring...only one key fits anything...the front door. No key to the back door. We did not use the little house that is the 4th bedroom. It is not attached...you have to go through a door at the fence and outside the property to get to it. Keys are separate for that.
The house itself is great location, but if noise bothers you, this is not the place! The house is near an intersection of a main thoroughfare. The Grove is just about 2 blocks down. The front bedroom is the noisiest (obviously) and then the bathroom behind the kitchen because it has a skylight.
The place seemed tidy enough except there was a wet puff left in one of the shower stalls.. The towels need to be rotated out...they were clean, but discolored. There were signs in the bathrooms stating that blood, dirt, etc were hard to get out of the towels so to please be careful about using them for those purposes. The bedding was all spic and span and the beds slept good. The table was dressed up really cute with placemats, dishes, and Christmas napkins.
There are steps to front door and back door and there are hand rails in the bathrooms. I would not say that a wheelchaired person could easily navigate here. The showers are very small...I would call them dated. The bathtub is separate in the bigger bathroom and no tub in the other.
The host responded in a timely fashion in the beginning, but when checkout came there was no response to my texts requesting checkout procedures. The host did respond to my text that we had locked the keys back in the box and were gone.
While the house itself seemed nice enough I would not recommend this house only because I felt there was something amiss. There was an incident that enhanced my gut feeling and it was addressed by the host and reported to Airbnb as well.
