My family of 5 stayed in this rental for 5 days/ 4 nights. We have 2 young kids. This house had great reviews that commented upon the cleanliness, but I did not find that to be the case upon our arrival. The high chair was dirty, with crumbs on the bottom tray. There was a piece of food stuck to the high chair cover that required a lot of scrubbing to pry off. I’m sure glad I brought my own Clorox wipes, and disinfectant sprays. When I went to wash the high chair cover, there were still towels inside the dryer. The lint removal tray had not been cleaned and had hair inside of it.
You would think given the pandemic situation we are in, the host would do a better job of cleaning the place.
The next morning after we woke up, I noticed my daughter had bite marks on BOTH sides of her cheeks.
I wrote to the owner, telling her of my concerns. I simply wanted to bring up some of the issues with the cleanliness of her home. She responded in a very defensive manner and said she can’t take responsibility for my daughter’s mosquito bites. First of all, why is she assuming it’s mosquitos? Second, before I put my daughter to bed, her face did not have any red bumps!
Also, be aware that 4 of the windows in the living room and kitchen area do not have any blinds or curtains. Again, the host was very defensive with her response, noting that only 2 of the windows have no curtains which face a wall. Anyone can walk by and look through the window because it’s not behind a gate or anything. Again, safety issue. The front door is also completely clear. We felt really uncomfortable sitting on the couch every night because people can see into the house. Even the kitchen window which directly faces the neighbor's window and backyard has no curtain/ blinds on it. Also, side door to the trash bins, no blinds or curtains .
We really felt we had no privacy at all. If you don’t have any blinds/ curtains installed on 4 windows, you need to state this in your listing.
Only redeeming feature are the beds. They are pretty comfortable.
The privacy and cleanliness of this rental was an issue for us so I cannot recommend this rental.
