If you stay in this house, you will be monitored. There is a ring doorbell camera and the host shows up—without prior permission— when you go out. We returned one day only to find the host there. When she realized we had arrived, she then asked permission to access the property but no prior permission was obtained. She locks the thermostat, if a person doesn’t ask for the code, none is provided in any of the house documents. Once you obtain the code, if you turn on the AC, she reminds you not to do so and then turns it off remotely, you have no control. The more time we spent there, the more big brother it felt. She locks the outside gate so there is only one way into and out of the house, which she is able to monitor via the ring doorbell. There are no drapes on certain windows which enables her to see inside the house when she accesses the property unbeknownst to the guests (as mentioned she shows up without warning). The other downside to this home is that online it appears as though it’s a high-end rental, and that’s what the price reflects. However, it’s far from a high end experience. The pavement is deteriorating, the walls are in need of paint, many lightbulbs are burned out, appliances are in need of repair, toilet paper holder is falling off the wall, etc. The host will reply to this review and attempt to rationalize everything, as she did when I brought things to her attention while I was there, but in the end, why does the guest have to deal with this nonesense? If you stay in a hotel, you don’t have to hear about what year the rooms were renovated, in order to understand why they are now deteriorating. It’s a simple thing to check and make sure lightbulbs aren’t burned out, that things aren’t falling off the wall, etc. If you don’t have the time in your busy schedule, then you don’t have time to run an Air BnB. Things need to be functional especially when guests are paying approximately $500 for the cleaning/service fees + the high nightly rate. For a 4 night stay she left 2 garbage bags, 3 rolls of toilet paper, and less than half a roll of paper towels. She knew we were a family of 5 with 2 toddlers. This is not enough. I requested more, as well as cleaning products, and her response was that she doesn’t leave cleaning products for guests and then proceeded to leave 2 garbage bags, 2 rolls of toilet paper, and 1 roll of paper towels outside. Is it too much to ask for a box of garbage bags to be left, you have to count them out for us? Things are as cheap as can be (e.g., dish washing detergent that doesn’t clean the dishes at all! Just spend $2 more to get the good brand). We have the same dishwasher in our home and it cleans fine but with the cheapest detergent you can buy, there are going to be issues. This should have been a nice family vacation but turned into a very uncomfortable feeling of being watched and monitored. If I had more energy, I would have honestly considered filing an official report.
