From a sheer value stand point this was sufficient.
There was a place to stay for relatively cheap in a decent location.
However, I wish I had checked the reviews more thoroughly before booking this Airbnb.
This is an old house and it shows. This place needs to be thoroughly updated and cleaned.
First when entering in the from the exterior door there is a musty mold smell in the hallway.
Then when entering the actual space you notice the carpets are quite discolored and there are some traps (for something, god knows what).
Then once you get inside you realize that the walls have flaking paint and the paint job to cover up spots are horribly done. Completely different colors and you wouldn't notice unless you look at the listing pictures closely.
The beds dip down (ouch my back) and the bedding itself is very worn down and smells.
The freezer was absolutely disgusting and looks like it hasn't been cleaned ever.
Basically nothing matches in this airbnb at all.
Imagine just getting a bunch of stuff at a Goodwill at putting it in here. That includes furniture, bedding, fixtures, doors, everything.
Not one thing looks consistent.
The exterior door is also complete garbage. It does not lock unless you use the deadbolt. The hinge from the door handle doesn't even fit into the slot. So if you don't use the deadbolt the door will swing open.
Oh and no wifi, didn't find out until I read some reviews. What year is it?
I could go on and on, but you probably get the idea.
Now on to the communication.
I asked if we could get an early check in or be able to drop our bags off early.
Omar said that was fine but did not explain that he expected to meet with us in person in order to do that.
We said around 1pm but because of flight delays and everything that ended up being around 3pm.
When my companions arrived he confronted them about showing up late and was not friendly at all.
There were a lot of accusations we got about not following rules or expectations but they were never clearly communicated.
One time we left and we had believed to have locked the exterior door correctly (see my note about about this exterior door being garbage), but it turns out that it swung open. Surprise! Omar saw it and messaged me in an unfriendly tone about it.
Omar thinks there were some expectations set in earlier communication, but it was not and later accused us of not following certain procedures. Not what you want to deal with when on a trip and worse during a friend's wedding.
In summary, great place if you are looking for the cheapest option and really care about the bare (I mean very bare) essentials.
The airbnb itself is in dire need of updating and cleaning.
Communication was bad and the host was confrontational which made our entire time there unpleasant.
