Angie was quick to respond and apologetic about a few issues we had about the place. Construction occurred early Saturday morning which she stated in her listing only happened during the week. She was quick to cancel Sunday’s construction but unfortunately her workers left the stairway to the house a bit hazardous- caution tape and an open trench blocked the lock box to return the key + piles of dirt and rubble on the steps made it unsafe to navigate up the path to the door. *please note there are no lights outside at night so be careful where you step when entering.
No access to back yard- looks like they are building a back house.
The listing shows that the home is child friendly meaning there are a few stuffed animals and a crib in one of the rooms. However my mother tried to use one of the dressers for her clothes and found an entire drawer of sex toys and lingerie.
Angie was also quick to address this issue and stated that they weren’t hers.
Hopefully she will check in with her house cleaners as she mentioned she pays good money for them bc she hasn’t been to the home to check on it in years.
Also note there are no screens on the windows so wear bug spray and ear plugs because the dogs next door are riled by any noise.
We didn’t end up using the basement room as it felt a little creepy for some and didn’t look like the photos. But luckily we brought an inflatable mattress for the living room.
On a lighter note:
Location was great- my family was in a wedding for my sister at Lake Merritt and was only a 10 min drive.
Angie compensated a portion of one of the nights due to the construction noise.
Won’t be staying here again but hope there will be some changes for future guests to accommodate their stay!
