In Taylor's defense, I did not attempt to contact her about my issues during my stay. I was busy and I preferred to just get through the stay than try to get out of it--it was just too much stuff to mention anyway and from the description it's obvious that she disagrees with people's feelings about the cleanliness--but I feel obligated to let other people know.

Taylor's description is very upfront about the rustic nature of the property, but it also says it is perfectly cleaned by the maid prior to each stay. I did not find that to be true. Tons of dust and debris under the bed, loads of cobb webs in the bathroom, above the shower (spider webs all around the bathroom). When I went to look for cleaning products...nothing. I had to buy cleaner, paper towels, and febreze to get rid of the cat urine smell. A lightbulb fell and shattered - no broom to be found anywhere. There was a storm one day and the doors to the bedroom continually blew open because the lock doesn't work (they could add latches to all the doors for maybe $20) which also means I couldn't leave any valuables in the house. Another major frustration is furniture... the couch looks cool, but def not fun to sit in and even worse all of the furniture on the deck is broken with screws coming out of them. I didn't even attempt to use the outside area next to the bedroom as it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Two of the three lamps in the house have shorts and are very difficult to get to stay on. 3 of the 4 stools in the kitchen are extremely loose and on their way to breaking. Lastly, I'm not sure that it's a requirement of airbnb, but I always leave shampoo and conditioner in my house for guests, which there was none of here, just soap.

All in all, this could be a REALLY cool location if the owner would just take even half of one persons fees and reinvest it into the space... cleaning products and locking doors are a must, regardless of how rustic a space is. $1000 and one day of work would make a huge difference in this place.
