Folks, this is not for everyone. The house itself is kinda cute on the inside, just as pictures indicate, but the rest of the property was not accurately portrayed. I cancelled my three day stay after I got there.
The garden is in bad shape, the hot tub badly needs attention, there’s no tiki bar anymore, and this is not in a good neighborhood. The photos are old. There’s no working gas stove, it’s been replaced by a cheap hot plate. The pond was dry with the pump blaring when I arrived, half of the plants are dead and it’s encased in weeds and chicken wire. I’m 6 ft tall and literally cannot straighten my knees in the bathroom, the beds didn’t seem safe for our kids. I could go on, but I left after an hour.
I was given a full refund, Daria was respectful and had some very good suggestions for restaurants and activities, but this place simply wasn’t up to standard.
This listing is a superhost and it’s usually booked with hundreds of good reviews. I really don’t understand why. The concept is great, the location and overall maintenance are just plain bad. This might have been good a year ago, but come on, it’s not hard to keep established succulents alive. They probably didn’t get watered for months.
I’m a gardener, so is my wife. We booked primarily on the garden aspect of this place. It’s an abandoned back yard. I wouldn’t get into a hot tub with that much bromine. Pure laziness.
I’ve stayed at dozens of AirBnBs around the world and none have misrepresented themselves so badly.
