Our stay was just okay. Having a toddler and being pregnant i expected a lot more out of the house considering it was advertised as “family friendly”. Besides the fireplace and the one safety lock on the closet, there wasn’t anything family friendly about the house. In comparison to the photos in the listing, the home wasn’t as clean in person as it looked. It was a little bit more run down, stains on pillows/sheets, curly hair balls in the throw pillows and on couches, the bathroom didn’t appear to be cleaned and there was lint on nightstands and bed frame/headboards. The beds were uncomfortable and the sheets were itchy. My toddler even woke up with rash and bed bug bites which was unsettling all in itself. I also noticed some dust and spiderwebs along the baseboards and windowsill in the bathroom, as if it hadn’t been cleaned. On top of that, the trash can in kitchen was pretty dirty on the inside and out.
I completely understand the quiet hours, but the signs on the neighbors windows were unnecessary and made my whole family feel uncomfortable. The house felt a little eerie and the warm temperature upon arrival in the home almost set the tone for our whole stay.
While heading out to grab dinner, there was a male that asked us for directions which was scary in itself seeing as he seemed to be intoxicated in some way. It made us question how safe the neighborhood really was. To top it off, later that evening we heard gunshots multiple times and we almost decided to leave but i didn’t want to lose out on all the money spent on the airbnb seeing as we definitely would get any kind of refund. overall, it was not worth the amount of money spent for a horrible experience. it was such a let down for an airbnb PLUS stay.
I like to think I have a very positive outlook on things and usually don’t review so negatively, but I would not recommend staying here if you’re looking for a “Tranquil Family Home” stay.
