We were met with disappointment immediately upon arrival. The sand area in the front yard had multiple piles of feces (dog or other animal). I contacted the host that evening to report the problem. The host did not arrive to address the issue until more than 24 hours after it was reported. The following morning, a few of the feces piles remained in the yard. Rather than wait another day to have them cleaned up, I picked it up myself. When I addressed the issue with the host, she attempted to downplay the issue, but also stated that the feces may have been there for weeks prior to our arrival, meaning that the host/cleaners do not pay attention to the cleanliness of the property.
