Sina's home is nice for many reasons: it's spacious, it's centrally located, and it's got character.
But, Sina's home is overwhelmingly overvalued. Unfortunately, the price you pay for his property is evidently based upon the three reasons above. What Sina offers in space and location is counteracted by a sheer lack of quality amenities in his home.
The bath towels are worn out and sparse amongst the home. The beds are made with low thread count sheets, thin comforters, and flat pillows. The soaps offered in the house are cheap anti-bacterial hand soaps and hyper-fragrant body washes that are terrible for your skin and hair. The main couch in the living room was worn and tearing at the seams, too.
Despite having to pay to turn the heat on in his pool, it hadn't been cleaned until three days into our five day stay. The gardener hadn't come and the outdoor furniture was covered in dust and dead leaves. And of course, the fact that we had to pay for each additional day of parking for a second car seemed like a classic case of nickel and diming.
The icing on the cake was seeing a cockroach walk through our fridge. And yes, I get it: pests are sometimes uncontrollable, but when you're staying somewhere that costs as much as Sina's place does you'd expect better.
We paid over $1,000/day to stay at the location after fees. I cannot in good faith recommend this home to a friend let alone a stranger. If you're considering Sina's home I suggest you look further and consider a five star hotel. You'll get all of the charm there with none of the disappointment.
