The house is in a great area and Matt was extremely communicative. The house is definitely more lived in than anticipated. The rooms smelled like cigarette smoke and the common areas very clearly not cleaned very well, crumbs on the counters, tables and couch. It felt like we were living in other peoples dirt. We were told the place was cleaned, and at least the sheets were.
For the cost and the amount of cleaning they expect the guests to do before leaving is pretty hefty for the cleaning fee they tack on. The walls were also splattered with old liquid (who knows) and just very dingy—this could be from age, but a fresh coat of paint or a magic eraser couldn’t hurt.
I understand this wasn’t supposed to be a 5 star hotel, but I wouldn’t give it more than a 2. My boyfriend even complained and he could care less about most of the things I notice when it comes to rentals.
I would not recommend staying here for the price and extra fees. I hope we could at least be refunded our cleaning fee considering our poor experience here.
