The power was out for the whole block, from 10:30PM-7:30AM - it lasted all night. When the host approached us angrily (described below) - he said he knows the power is out for the block, but he didn’t ask if we needed anything- or apologize for the inconvenience. Why did he approach us? It was my mistake that I didn’t read the house rules carefully. I have been traveling a lot and have been extremely busy. So I had not read about the “no hot tub after 9” rule- my mistake. But when we were in the hot tub, not after legal quiet hours, not being loud, the host approaches us with a flashlight. He came over to us preemptively mad and was extremely rude, threatening “cops” and “eviction” and a “$10,000” fine. This is the only time I have ever had a bad experience with a host. We were apologetic the entire time, and said we would leave. As we were getting out (in the dark) He said “I’ll wait” and just stood there with his light on us as we got out and dried off (note- we had flashlights too, he wasn’t providing us anything other than discomfort. He was on a power trip), and then he followed us back to the house before leaving. He treated us very poorly but we did not want to push back at the time because he would have simply called the cops. Extreme and unwarranted behavior. We only stayed that one night instead of the two we booked because we did not feel safe with the rude, unprofessional host living 30 ft away.
Now on to the house- this is a part I would have omitted because I don’t like to complain about less than stellar houses if the stay is pleasant. But it was not, so here goes. Everything about the house feels makeshift- like it was built by someone who has no business building things. It seems like a garage turned into a second dwelling unit, and by the looks of things I’m guessing it’s not permitted. Everything creaks. Saw exposed wires, my friend pointed out that there’s no way this place is up to code. Finding some spare towels took 15 minutes. A major point of concern- the master bed was not clean- there was sand under the bedspread on the sheets. The place in general was not clean. I would not recommend staying here, I was hoodwinked by the good reviews and decent pictures, but I wish I had never booked it.
