The location of this home is definitely the highlight.
While there are plenty of amenities offered, each of them was executed in an almost careless manner. I did leave detailed feedback for the host, however your experiences using the outdoor amenities might be limited. The basketball was flat, and wouldn’t get pumped up even with a pump, the pool table was dusty and the sticks needed to get chalked up. The projecter system is dope, but you can’t change channels easily.
The good: the location + essentials like dishes, pans, and cleaning stuff was there. Plenty of towels and soft beds.
The bad: for the price you expect a luxury listing. This just isn’t. It doesn’t feel like a home, it feels like a quick flip designed for a bachelor. It’s somewhat cold, and could use some art and varying paint. It didn’t feel clean, and small pieces of metal and glass got in our feet often. Everything is white, so every imperfection is noticeable.
The upstairs bedrooms are all equipped with TVs and balconies, but 2/4 of the bedrooms don’t have a closet rod to hang clothes.
The gate wouldn’t close completely which was a security concern given we didn’t know the area, and it was tricky figuring out how the downstairs doors closed. My breaking point was when a some stranger just opened the gate and came into the front yard while we were in a team meeting. He said he was a Gardner and to not worry.
I immediately messaged the host and the property manager, and they said he comes every Monday and Thursday. This should have been communicated sooner, it was an extremely odd experience, and the Gardner was there for close to 2 hours. That’s not exactly “whole house to yourself”.
