The rental was great—sparkling clean when we checked in; the AC was a sweet relief from the humidity outside; located in a great quiet neighborhood; and the unit was spacious to boot—with one exception:
cockroaches.
Mostly small baby ones but also some medium-sized ones, primarily around the kitchen area (we didn’t leave out any open containers of food … it’s possible they could smell the trash, since the lid isn’t air tight). We killed at least a dozen or so. The hosts mentioned that their recent pest treatment likely hadn’t fully taken effect yet; it would have behooved them to set up some traps.
