First let me be clear, Scott is a very kind man. He welcomed my girlfriend and I upon arrival and led us to our room. I don’t believe he himself directly is a bad host... just that he might have overlooked some things. To outline my biggest concerns from my stay...
As noted in some other reviews, the photos didn’t really do the house justice. It was a normal house but maybe a little worse for wear, in my opinion. I think the photos made it look a little more vibrant than what actually exists. Also mentioned in another review (and I can validate this), the house did have a strong musk/musty smell.
Communication was fine. However, Scott asked me if we could move our check-in up three hours the day prior (from 12:00pm to 9:00am)... I was accommodating because he is our host and I imagine he is managing other clientele. However, this was less than ideal considering my travel schedule.
Lastly, and absolutely most importantly (to me as a traveler/ guest), the bathroom condition was utterly unacceptable. There was a diabetes test kit (thumb prick and test strips) sitting out in plain sight. Easy for someone to unknowingly brush against. I work for a hospital and this is unacceptable and frankly a public health concern. The bathroom toilet seat was filthy... with bodily fluids, fecal matter specifically. After the first 24 hours of going out to see some sights, my girlfriend and I returned to find the bathroom in the same condition. I decided I’d clean the toilet myself and looked under the bathroom vanity for cleaning supplies. However, that worsened my impression of the establishment. It was just filthy in the vanity - rags that appeared to be very very dirty, little to no cleaner/ true disinfectant sprays.
Again, as a person Scott seems very nice but I would not recommend unless the above concerns are addressed.
