Upon arrival, after an unnecessary house tour I was told I was could not decline, owner of the house via the property manager told me I was required to allow her to take photographs of my drivers license and credit card that would be texted to the owner to verify my identity and for any additional charges. I refused as any relevant info would be available via airbnb and could lead to identity theft, and as a result I was subjected to being yelled at on speaker phone by the owner. I have no issue with having my identity verified by viewing my drivers license upon check in. Requiring photos of my id and credit card to essentially be permanently stored of multiple peoples phones is highly inappropriate.
Overall the house was large and fit the basic needs of our stay. A lot of the the interior was a little worse for wear. Anywhere you looked inside the house it was easy to find something that was either one bad day away from falling apart or was just poorly installed/hastily repaired. Not a huge deal, but did give me pause considering the price. We were surprised by the lack of some basic necessities like kitchen hand towels and dishwasher pods (we were told we must run the dishwasher when we left).
For a $300 cleaning fee I was surprised to find that the upstairs balcony and furniture were filthy and to find dishes/utensils in the cupboards that had been put away without being washed.
