Excellent location and easy check-in process. We had a party of 5 and had plenty of space, although it was a challenge parking our SUV because the garage is awkward and tight since it backs to a narrow alley. Very beautiful home on the outside so we expected a much cleaner interior, especially considering the cleaning fees. The carpet has seen much better days and needs cleaned, the deck was not swept, microwave was pretty filthy, tv remotes had cakes-on peanut butter or something???, fridge needs wiped down, and the bath towels were pretty worn/bleached-stained/smelled like mildew. We rolled with and cleaned things as we used them but we’re pretty surprised at how unclean the house was in general.
The tv’s in 2 of the bedrooms do not work and while there was plenty of closet space to hang items, none of the rooms had dressers. The stair rugs were also a problem and hazard, as they slip. The rooftop furniture was all packed up and covered versus sat out like in the as photos.
The gate leading to the alley does not have a handle and instead there’s a piece of wire to pull. There were a few homeless folks in the alley but they didn’t bother anyone. There was also beach gear (folding chairs, umbrella) for use but they were moldy so we didn’t touch them.
I should also mention that we did not contact the hosts with any of these minor annoyances so please note that this was not a matter of any unresponsiveness by the hosts.
Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and I share this feedback for awareness. The location was excellent (parking sucks though but it’s out of the hosts control) and this home would be stellar with a deep clean, new linens/towels, perhaps a de-humidifier to remove that mildew/musty smell, all to align with the expectation at this price point.
