The location of this home is near impossible to beat - so close to some wonderful restaurants, a wine bar and other things to do. The space itself was big and has a nice outdoor garden. The host was responsive when we had issues, and made some effort to help but I’m frustrated by how many issues we had.
First of all everything in the kitchen was dirty. Then we noticed the front door keypad didn’t work correctly and it took days to fix since it wasn’t fixed properly the first time. We also noticed many of the fixtures were old and not working properly. The internet was terrible. They did upgrade it but it only helped for a few days and still wasn’t great for video calls. We were also startled to see the hot tub cleaners and gardener in the property space when we were not warned they would be coming and how they would access the space.
The biggest issue for me is that one day while going out to the covered parking area, I found a man sitting behind my car. This really freaked me out about the lack of proper security. The host picked up my call and did coordinate getting us a chain lock for the gate, which I appreciated, but she also promised to install a better door between the covered parking and the garden, which never happened. Currently there is only a thin wooden board there.
Overall, I think the host is a kind and responsive person, however there are some fixes that should be made to really make this property worth the hefty price tag.
