The location of this house was fantastic, and the hosts were very responsive with the multiple questions I had before we got there. My two major issues with this house/host was the lack of privacy and the cleanliness. I didn’t realize, and maybe I missed it in the House rules because they were extensive, that someone else shared the property space so there is a family that will walk through the shared yard space when they come and go (kind folks and all, but not private). My other issue with privacy is that they send someone to “check” on you after you’ve checked into the house. I don’t feel comfortable with someone requiring you to allow them into the space you rented with all of your personal belongings after you’ve gotten settled, it was very strange to me and not something I’ve experienced in any of the the many other Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. Then there was the lack of cleanliness. None of the laundry was done, it was all sitting in front of the washing machine when we got there so we literally spent the entire time washing towels so we could use them, nobody took the trash out, there was trash left on the rooftop patio, the floors were incredibly sandy, and none of the things they guarantee to be stocked like toilet paper was, so we had to go look for it all in the garage. I wouldn’t be so annoyed with this lack of preparation but we even paid an early check in fee which was supposed to guarantee the housekeeper got everything done early which was even more disappointing knowing that no one had the place rented for the few days leading up to our stay. I did let them know that the house was not clean when I arrived and i’m sure if I complained enough they would’ve sent someone to come clean it however it would’ve been more inconvenient for me to ask my whole group of 12 to pack everything up and get out of the way for someone to come clean the house once we already got settled. I’m sure others will have a more comfortable stay if the housekeeper does their job and if you don’t mind an invasion of privacy. They apologized for my disappointment but that doesn’t make up for the extra money I spent to have nothing done.
