I've never written a negative review, but I think its important to be honest here so others may not be misled and so disappointed like we were. This is the first time we've experienced feeling 'duped' at an Airbnb stay. While the host seems to be a nice person, this home was not what we expected based on its description. It is listed as a "Luxe Gated and Private Home". The home is far from luxurious and is not private. The "secured" gate is a sliding gate that you push by hand to open. There is a guest house in the rear that shares the same front gate entrance, so every time they open it, it slams so hard that it startles you in the front house. The home was not properly cleaned. The fridge had left over pizza boxes, and other food and was also dirty. There were empty liquor bottles in the kitchen cabinets. The worst was the smell inside the home. There was such a strong marijuana smell that our kids kept asking why it smelled like skunk in here. We didn't feel confident in the cleanliness so we slept in our clothes and left as early as we could. The host offered to cover dinner or breakfast for us which was really nice, but that was at 9:30pm and our kids were already asleep, and we were eager to leave as soon as we could in the morning. I think this could be a nice place with some upgrades and TLC, but I really think the description should be more honest, and certainly doesn't fit the description of "Airbnb Plus" exceptional status.
