Fisrt of all, the photos of the garden are 4 years old and MUCH has changed since then... for the worse.. and to our surprise there was no micro farm. The yard was neglected and it wasn't a welcoming space to spend time. Weeds everywhere, dead branches on trees, and the green grassy patches in the photos are now brown/dead. When I asked Zapher 'where is the farm?" and 'why is the grass all dead?", he said they just harvested the farm and due to the high cost of water they hadn't been watering the grass or plants. (You would think at the price he's charging he could water the grass). Even worse, when we arrived we noticed an awful smell and later traced it to a large deceased, rotting opossum in the garden - and Zapher didn't remove it for days or give us any money back, despite seeing photos of how long it had been lying there. Also, there was junk, empty pots and tools laying around. The jacuzzi seating area was not welcoming as the photos depicted - furniture is dirty and old. The waterfall was not running.
Inside the house the lighting is AWFUL. The only lights in the living room are ceiling mounted spotlights on a strip - located above the TV. So when you're on the couch they shine directly in your eyes and are unreasonably bright. The place needs a woman's touch - it had no lamps, just obnoxious overhead lighting. There's nothing modern about it, it felt like a cheaply constructed home. NOT WORTH THE PRICE! At most it's worth $400 a night.
To make our stay more dramatic, the oven caught fire right when we turned it on, so we couldn't use it. It wasn't repaired until the following afternoon, when a handyman came to clean it. We had to leave the house for 3 hours while he cleaned the inside of the oven. Zapher refused to refund any money as a result of the inconvenience of not being able to cook for the first day.
When we went to shower in the morning, our showers became cold in just a few minutes. This happened in both showers, and when we told Zapher he acted like it was no big deal and didn't send a plumber to fix it. The listing was advertised as having a garden view but we had no view because it was raining and there was a leak. Instead of repairing it, Zapher simply covered the french doors in plastic and told us only to use the back door.
There was no "Standard cable TV" The owner said there was instead Youtube TV, which we gave up searching for after 30 minutes. Additional amenities missing include, coffee filters for coffee maker (we had to run to the store to get some), no TV remote control, a lightbulb in the only lights in kitchen was burned out, and there was no soap in the shower. And, after all this Zapher refused to refund any money - I had to get a refund through Airbnb directly. He did, however, say that he would refund me a few hundred bucks if I promised not to leave a bad review. So, please take my review into consideration, Zapher is not a kind nor reasonable person to rent from and it shows in his property. You're better off at a hotel near a garden.
