After reading past reviews and knowing that this host rents out the granny flat under the garage and thus it’s a shared courtyard/backyard; I knew we would only want a private outdoor space for my family, so I contacted the host who assured us in writing that we would have private use of the courtyard/backyard .
One day before check- in the Co-host sent a message to me saying that they have a tenant renting the granny flat and that the courtyard/backyard would now be a shared space.
After numerous calls to ABnB support, the host finally relented and said the area would only be used by our family.
Upon check-in we found 2 broken glasses on the shelves and thankfully my niece wasn’t hurt when she reached in to grab a glass. One of the duvets had a large stain as did the pillow on the same bed.
When we went outside to prepare dinner, the propane BBQ was so disgustingly filthy that it was completely unusable. We found a small charcoal BBQ on the side of the house that we cleaned out and used.
Be careful when you’re unpacking your luggage/bags. The area is sketchy and there’s a homeless encampment on the adjacent property that can be seen from the kitchen window.
Otherwise it’s a large home with a good sized open floor plan that works for large families like ours...
