I believe in honest and transparent reviews and will be sharing my experience as openly as possible.
Upon arrival, we were immediately concerned for our safety as the screen door was bent/ajar and the front door was unlocked and wide open. After inspecting the unit for possible break-in, I noticed several other issues. There was a build-up of black mold in both bathrooms, mold and dead bugs were present on some of the window sills, the coffee pot was wet and stained with old coffee, the smoke detector was hanging by its wires from the ceiling, and several dishes/cutlery were quite dirty.
I reached out to the host who sent over his cleaning staff which resulted in an awkward exchange walking through the unit indicating she had left the door open and agreeing that any mold should have been cleaned with bleach. The host offered to refund us if we vacated the unit which was not a reasonable option with my two small children in the middle of the night.
This was a very unsettling stay.
