I will start with the positive as that list is short: Quiet neighborhood, decent location.
CONDITION: There is no fire pit. Broken door handles (handles came off) on the french doors in kitchen leading to front deck and french doors in bedroom. Bathroom window does not open due to broken spring, bathroom sink clogged up, Hot tub didn't work (it was being replaced day of our trip) wood, tools laying around backyard. Walls have chipped painting.
Steep steps: House is on a slope and there are concrete steps that lead up to front doorway with no hand rails, if you have any knee issues or elderly this may be an issue going up and down as it is steep.
Front Deck: has gas grill, patio table and umbrella but you have a view of nothing but houses and the houses have a view of you so no privacy.
Back Deck: Washer/Dryer, Broken hot tub (replaced by new hot tub), deck was old broken apart, wood and tools laying around. motion lights in the back work, well lit but could use a larger table and yard could be cleaned up.
Kitchen: Plenty of dishes, pots pans, no keurig but regular coffee pot and cleaning supplies under sink.
Linen: Plenty of towels, extra blankets. A/C works.
Lockbox: Old white key lock, we had difficulty figuring out the lock box, it holds a key inside box its not a keypad to get in.
I was informed via phone at 11am that the hot tub was broken and being replaced. We had a 7 hour drive and were told it should be done by the time we arrive. At 9pm we were met by Cameron in the front of his home, he stated that a crane was used to airift the hot tub and that work will need to be done on it the following day, someone would be by but couldn't specify a time. I stressed to the host that we like our privacy and that we had an event at 9pm Friday and wanted a day of quiet and rest. Host sympathized but stated this was out of his hands. At 9am his friend/worker knocked on door and started working on the back deck which involved drilling and sawing so we left at noon and returned at 6pm to rest for our event at 9pm. At 630pm I saw legs walking outside my bedroom door and a flashight. Being two females we got scared as it was dark and when I turned the outside light on I asked who the person was I was told he was a electrician who was called in to fix the hot tub. Although I stressed to the host about our privacy and seeing a strange man walking outside my bedroom scared us, we only got sympathy and that he thought he heard we were going to be out of the house at 5pm (we never said that) After the electrician left we heard the hot tub running but there was tools, wood and broken wood laying around.
During the majority of the time of our stay we had no privacy as there were third parties at the house, and while I did talk with the host about work being done and he did agree to compensate us for some of this hassle, we weren't informed about the electrician coming over after 6pm which went on until 7or 8pm. We had an event at 9m so packing up and leaving at that time of night was an option that the host made us aware we can take advantage of but to be given that option at that time of night was not ideal for us so we stayed that night to attend our event and left in morning. The host did reduce the cost by half for the days I was there and approved leaving a day early. The electrician did get the hot tub working but there still needed work to be done on the deck, tools laying around and wood. We couldn't endure another day of this condition and lack of privacy so we cut the trip short by a day.
I would recommend to only communicate with your host via the airbnb app and not your cell phone and any issues know that you only have 24 hours to report to airbnb then its at the host discretion to refund, as this is my first bad experience I wasn't aware but am glad the host did the right thing by refunding some of the money but for what we endured it wasn't worth it.
