Very disappointed.
Airbnb Descriptions and photos are outdated and need updating.
Airbnb Description states:
" The home will be unlocked upon your arrival and the key will be left on the counter". ....No key to be found on the counter upon arrival. There was a key hook with a few keys hanging from it on the kitchen wall. We had to try the keys out to finally figure out which one fit the front door.
"INTERNET INSTRUCTIONS: - The network name and password will be located on the kitchen bulletin board."
Wifi info was nowhere to be found on the bulletin board. On the bulletin board was a bunch of old, brown, crumbling notebook paper messages that look like they have been there since before the internet was even invented. We had to dig through a dirty notebook/binder found in the living room to find the Wifi info.
Upon arrival we found one partially used toilet paper roll and one full roll meant to last a group of 4 adults for 3 days and 2 nights. Had to call Veronica and wait around for her bring us additional TP for our stay.
Bathroom towels folded on shelf in bathroom were found to be some dirty, some clean.
Under the dingy, old and stained sheets was a mattress pad with disgusting stains on it and it smelled.
The place DEFINITELY HAS CATS IN IT ON OCCASION. I am allergic to cats and it was not disclosed in any descriptions that cats have been in the property. The back bedroom even smells terribly of cat urine. Cat food was found above the kitchen in a cupboard, so cats are definitely in the home on occasion.
The cottage is listed as having Air Conditioning, but does not disclose that the AC is 2 portable wall vent units that can not be moved. One is in the back bedroom and one is in the front in the living room. So if you are sleeping in the middle in the other bedroom, good luck- No AC for you. It is not central AC. This should be disclosed!
The place is advertised on Airbnb as 2 bedrooms. Yes, there are 2 bedrooms, but you must walk through one bedroom to get to the other. Talk about lack of privacy!
The living room needs a complete update on the furniture. The one couch which seats only 2 people has seen better days. It is torn, worn and stinks. We had to cover all living room furniture with sheets it smelled so bad. The other "seating" in the living room is a 1970s style teen daybed corner unit that has also seen better days. If you don't mind sitting one foot off the ground and not being able to lean back while conversing with friends or watching TV, the corner unit I guess will do ok.
Be forewarned, if you are over 5 foot tall, you will not be able to sit on the toilet in the first bathroom and close the door. You will need to sit sideways or leave the door open. NOT KIDDING. Showers are super small. May not work for larger people.
Definitely not a place for anyone needing ADA accommodations. Just the first step inside the front door is like doing a small hurdle jump. And make sure when entering that you also don't get caught in the broken and unusable screen door.
The Computer keyboard for the back door deadbolt lock is broken, motherboard exposed and needs replacement.
The place has a lot of potential, but everything is old, dingy, dirty and/or broken and decorated with what looks to be trash pile furniture. The pictures provided on Airbnb do NOT give the true identity of the place.
Location is great. Walking distance to everything in Avalon. Considering the price that we paid to stay for a mid week visit, this was so not the value we expected, nor is the place described accurately. Very misleading.
