I kept a list:
﻿There was broken glass just outside the door leading to the pool. Very dangerous. Found on the first day so obviously the area was not cleaned and inspected well before we arrived. I didn’t mention to Keith as my husband cleaned the area thoroughly and it was the first day, so we didn't want to start off on the wrong foot. Master bath sink inoperable. Was not told ahead of time, but alerted Keith to this after he had left as to not be blamed for the issue. Towels and bedding were not very fresh, but we washed them before use. What a pain! Not a very secure home, with a broken garage window and flimsy faceplate at the door between the pool and the den. Pool guy scared me by coming over unannounced on Friday mid-morning. I was by the pool sunbathing. Very intrusive! The front gate does not latch closed and opens if there’s a small breeze. We came back from being out and the gate was open several times. A bit alarming as we didn’t know if someone had entered while we were out. Garage door buzzing for some reason, we had to have Keith come and shut it off. He mentioned that the gardener may have triggered it. Amenities were few and dated (old pans). Dirty kitchen nook seating (dog hair perhaps?). The owner appeared very overbearing and very concerned that we leave the home in the manner with which we found it. Not an issue as it wasn’t in great shape, to begin with. The pool was lovely, but that’s about it. The thermostat was confusing and we were told not to set it lower than 70 degrees during 90 degree days in LA. Stifling, to say the least. House needs a lot of work. We had an Airbnb home renter with us and we all agreed that this house should not be rented again to others. It's just not suitable or secure.
