I never left negative review to anyone, but this was a little too much for me.
We stayed in this place for 4 nights. And I'm glad it wasn't any longer. Communication with the host and booking was easy, but there it ends.
When we arrived, the house was dirty. Our feet got literally black form walking on the floors only couple minutes after entering the house (we did removed our shoes). We were told by the host, what it is normal.
Dirty windows with "SOS" letters written on one of them. Interesting first impression. It is no window treatments of any kind for some privacy, anywhere in the house. So you think twice before changing your clothes or taking the shower. Because you will have some neighbors too: downstairs and another unit literally few feet away.
From 3 bathrooms only one toilet was clean. Ant that one was located in the bedroom with no sheets on the bed. Host first sounded surprised then we told him, but I later I received the explanation from him what "the toilet has a mineral stain in the ceramic bowl even though it was just cleaned". We have ceramic toilet bowl as well, and we clean our house ourselves, and strangely, it was no problem with removing mineral stains from the water.
It is shared washer and drier what was not specified on the listing. I didn't feel like standing in line to do laundry, likely, we had enough clean clothes.
Ants all over kitchen sink, and even bedroom closet. Bugs are incoming in Hawaii, I'm aware of this fact. But having roll of toilet paper filled with ants in bedroom closet? I didn't feel like unpacking suitcases. I do have a pictures, which I showed to the host; so I'm not just saying.
The day we arrived we noticed some funny smell around the property, but decided it is not a big deal and it probably will go away. Well, what do we see in the morning? Big truck arrived on the back of the house (it is different property) and starts dumping compost like smelly material - it was some kind of construction going on on the back of the house.
And one more thing what bothered me the most. We were traveling with our 19 month old. Very first morning we got outside on the lanai. He had a little spoon in his hand and started to bang on the railing. It lasted only about 2-3 seconds (I didn't even had a chance to tell him to stop), as Rick jumped out and tells me in very rood tone of voice to control my child. I would stop him myself, no one wants to listen to that noise, but no one has a right to talk to me like that.
If those issues listed above wouldn't bother you, please feel free to disregards this review. I wouldn't stay there again.
