Well sadly this was a bit disappointing. Upon arrival, found the outdoor kitchen covered in ants. it is ant season in california but you dont expect it in your airbnb. at least kengming was prompt to fix the issue.
the place isnt terrible. location is good. everything is within 25 min drive. also miramesa has great asian food.
the place from first glance was clean. however it wasnt so up close. the second room bed sheets were cleaned but was bumpy and scratchy. the sheets were very old, it had fuzzballs all over. my 6yo daughter refused to sleep under the covers because the sheets were itchy. also she found ants on the bed. luckily she loves bugs and wasnt too bothered by it. but imagine if she was sensitive to bugs....
the bed in the main room is situated so that you would have to crawl over your mate to get to your spot and vice versa if you wanted to get out. there is barely any space. speaking of beds, twice the bed frame came loose after putting weight on it. hurt my shin on the bed frame. went under the bed to fix it myself.
bug bites. since the kitchen and dining area are outside, we ate at the small table by the kitchen. i was bombarded by mosquito bites on my legs. i have about 15 bites that i am still scratching. also found a cricket in the sink.
heat. the room gets very hot. in the rules it is stated that the central ac is set at 75. we asked the host to lower it and he was prompt to do so. but the rooms are still very hot. there is a ceiling fan in the room, however we were not able to turn the light off and keep the fan on. requested to the host to change the battery in the remote. he did go out of his way to find us the battery. we replaced the battery but still did not work. fortunately the host provided us with another fan.
i probably sound petty but it was a miserable stay. kengming was prompt enough however his promptness wasnt enough for the downfalls of the rented space. also i wouldnt be this harsh if kengming wasnt so childish after my stay.
after the stay he messaged stating to talk to him regarding the issues we had instead of writing a review. i told him that i will just write a review and that i will be asking for a partial refund. which i thought was justifed after everything that happened with the stay. this is when kengming decided he would argue. he stated that the bed sheets are not his fault because he hires a cleaning company. he accused us of spilling something in the kitchen to attract the ants. also accused me of messing with the coding on the ceiling fan remote so that it doesnt work. and of course he asked how much of a refund i was looking for. i just stated that i will just write a review and dont need any refund.
alot of this wasnt kengmings fault. but he didnt need to be a dick about it. the stay started off badly with the ants and just took a dump from there. his cleaning crew couldve done a better job. but kengming should have taken responsibilty. i didnt book from his cleaners i booked from kengming. and the fact that kengming was blaming us for the ants and messing with the ceiling fan remote was ridiculous.
hopefully this review will fix some of the issues with the suite and the next person will have a better experience.
