This is not an "entire house". It's a 2nd story unit in a duplex. That beautiful entryway by the front lawn opens up to nothing but a staircase. Also, don't even think about booking this place if you have kids. Blasi sent me a message telling me to make sure my kids "don't leave handprints on the white linens and white furniture". Wow, what a great welcome message!
Blasi made several repeated "suggestions" that I cancel my reservation, on separate phone calls.
We also had an issue with the water pressure/temperature in the master bathroom. Blasi rejected the idea that anything was wrong, insinuating that I was lying or exaggerating. She claims that she's never had any issues with the water whatsoever. It turns out, when you flush the toilet, the old pipes don't have enough pressure to supply both the toilet and the sink. The toilet took about 5 minutes to finish refilling (issue with the ballcock) and in this time, the cold water would trickle out from the faucet. So unless none of her guests ever washed their hands after using the toilet, I have a hard time believing this has never come up before. The same thing happens when you run two sinks, or the shower/bath. Blasi (VERY reluctantly - coronavirus this, coronavirus that, are you sure it's really a problem? I don't think it's a problem. Are you really sure?) sent a plumber to the property. She made sure that I was aware that if she dispatched a plumber and he was unable to witness the issue I had reported, that I would be charged for the visit. Well, he replicated the issue right in front of my eyes, and that's how I know what the source of the problem was. After he left, Blasi sent me a message saying that the plumber was not able to reproduce the problem. Interesting!
The microwave sits inside a closet where they also store buckets and jugs of unsealed cleaning supplies (bleach, toilet cleaner, floor cleaners, etc). Great to know they have a collection of chemicals to sanitize the place, but the fumes also produce a really noxious smell in the microwave. I reported this to Blasi, who also shrugged it off by saying, "We never use the microwave. Why do you need to use it? Use the stove instead"
You get one uncovered parking spot on the driveway nextdoor. A bit odd, but i suppose it works.
We were really looking forward to our stay here and truly can't understand why my experience with Blasi was so drastically different than the other reviews. The place was clean and very beautiful. Unfortunately the misleading property description accompanied by the rudeness of the host made this an awful experience for my family and I.
