Although communication was good with the host, my husband and I were not pleased with our stay. Below are a few things that made our stay uncomfortable.
1. That's no keyless entry option. There was a lockbox but it was broken during our stay and was supposed to be fixed during our stay but wasn't.
2. The lock on the gate from the inside got stuck everytime we wanted to leave. It almost always took us about a minute and a half to get out reach time we were leaving.
3. The wifi is extend
Extremely slow. Consider a better wifi extender. Even after the cable company was called , we still couldn't finish a movie on Netflix without it buffering and pausing on us.
4. The microwave and extra towels are too high for a short person like me to reach. We found a step ladder but this is a liability and hazard waiting to happen. Good thing my husband is tall enough.
5. The couch is an eyesore and it smells. We felt like it looked like a frat house couch. Not appealing and I had to put my own blanket on it to even sit.
6. The coffee table looks frat house-ish as well. It had stains and chipping paint. Again, not appealing.
7. There was a string paint smell. I woke up dizzy each day we were there. It was unacceptable to walk into a freshly painted studio with no warning. If you painted a week ago like you mentioned, we wouldn't be able to smell it. Trust us, ever painted quite a few rooms in our day. I couldn't even brush my teeth in the bathroom without gagging from the smell. The paint smell was so strong when we arrived that we had to sleep with the windows open all day and night during our entire stay. The smell was still there even when we checked out.
8. Some of the silverware and pans were still dirty. Still had food stuck on them as well as being oily (the pans).
9. The white hand towels looked soiled and dingy. They may have been clean but they looked dirty to me. Unless you have a linen company clean your towels, try switching to black or dark grey hand towels.
10. Our overall stay was mediocre and it felt unclean.
