Blake was responsive and tried his best to be a great host. Upon arrival and within 24 hours, I've listed at least 7 items that were not acceptable. To give Blake's credit, he tried to resolve issues as best as he can, but I think a-lot of these could have been avoided if given proper attention prior to the guests arrival.
In regards to the place, I truly think it is false advertisement as this is not a "luxury" place.
My husband and I were very disappointed in Blake's place. He described it as "luxury," but "minimal, bare-bones, trying to make as much money as possible" would be a much better description: WE have stayed at many airbnb and this place is not up to par as advertised.
The outside patio is not inviting and it appears that it has not been kept up.
* 2 of the 3 showers splashed water all over the bathrooms, because the shower heads needed to be replaced. One of them had clearly been patched up before -- but not enough to actually fix the problem. We are happy that Blake arranged for a workman to come on the weekend, to do the repair. But we would have expected Blake to fix this BEFORE we arrived. (One of those showers only had very hot water, which the workman also fixed after we pointed this out.)
* The carpets were very dirty -- probably from years of use. Many of the walls throughout the condo also had scuff marks.
* Guests were given 1 towel each -- really not enough.
* The kitchen had a total of 3 coffee mugs, and 3 glasses -- not very welcoming for a group of 6 adults.
* There were about 10 light bulbs in the house which had burned out.
* The kitchen table was very worn out.
Blake was mostly quick to respond when we called these issues to his attention, but he clearly has not bothered to bring his property up to the "luxury" level that he claimed to us.
