When we arrived at the indicated check-in time, we found out the house was not cleaned from the previous guests. Called host trying to resolve it, host was out of the country and her back up was really responsive. However, after the house was ready for us around 5pm(vs. 2pm), we found a couple of dirty towels that were tucked by the shower caddy. The rest of our day plan changed because of the situation. To be fair the host did refund the cleaning fee to us as compensation.
Very limited bathroom essentials. Body wash( we guessed, it was not labeled and in a refillable bottle), no shampoo or hair dryer. We ended up have to buy one travel size shampoo and air dry my hair. Given the past experience with Airbnb, I was quite surprised how limited the bathroom essentials were provided. There is a toddler bed was listed however all we can find is the "pack and play" playpen for infants. Our 3.5 year old will not fit in that nor would he want to.
As described by the host, it was a fairly old house. The kitchen looks like was most recently updated and it was nice. The bathtub was not in great shape, so does the plumbing that goes with the bathtub. Shower faucet was pretty worn out and hard to turn on and off. Toilet handle takes extra care to manage or it leaks and water keeps running.
The location was convenient enough where there are restaurants, convenient stores and drug stores nearby. We took responsibility by not reading carefully or didn't fully understand what does "fishing beach" mean. The house is 2 blocks away from fishing beach, which was basically cliff and rocky. It is not a traditional sandy beach we were assuming by reading from the listing title.
