Place is exactly how it’s pictured, beautiful lay out, ample parking, open kitchen space and being in a super quiet neighborhood…unfortunately there were a lot of misses here
I will give credit where credit is due and I want to say that Phillip was great at communicating almost a week before my trip and several times prior to that, he even went a step above and sent me a YouTube video on how to lock and unlock the door, which was super helpful when I got in late that night. I also want to say thank you for accommodating me with a fan prior to my arrival, I do appreciate it. But unfortunately their was a couple of misses, the first one being the White Sign posted on one of the drawers that read “Sorry this Drawer is Broken.” At first I didn’t think much of it, as things unexpectedly happen but then things started to pop up here and there.
As much communication Phil had done with me, I feel like it all of a sudden that change once I sent a message regarding the bathroom light needing to be replaced, that’s when Marc (who also helps runs the place) started to message me. When arrived back to my Airbnb Marc was in the house and told me to check downstairs to see if their was lightbulbs and if so, if I could change it. No problem, it’s COVID so I get it, the issue was once I messaged saying that the right lightbulbs wasn’t there, he asked to see when I would be available to replaced it, unfortunately I was running around that day and told him to hop in the Airbnb at any time. Marc was not able to come that day but messaged me that he could replaced it once I woke up or once I left the place. Unfortunately I did need it to be replaced while I was getting ready.
Besides that situation the place just looks a little run down, it’s a gorgeous place but unfortunately they haven’t taken the time to keep up with some of the items that need “touch ups” and can make certain parts of the house look a bit unclean. The other issue was the small bugs that came in at night; the place itself is very well insulated and I’m a hot sleeper, so I had to keep the windows open, unfortunately the windows don’t have screens and the place is flushed to the ground, so a couple of small ants and small spiders came in at night. Not a big issue, as I closed the windows and used the fan that had been provided to me, prior to arriving.
All in all, this place has so much potential and I can see why it had such great reviews at the beginnings, but unfortunately this place needs a little TLC to get it back to where it once was.
