Overall the space was as expected and a nice location. However, there were a number of small issues we ran into that we didn’t expect.
1. Parking - parking is very accessible which is great. However, you must have a printed parking pass that you print in advance of arriving. This was quite annoying when we arrived and didn’t have it printed and wasn’t really possible to print on the island.
2. Amenities - there wasn’t shampoo / conditioner in the bathrooms. Minor thing but it was annoying to have to go purchase. Also if you run out of the other amenities like paper towels, you must refill yourself. We were there for a long stay, so this was a bit annoying.
3. Cleaning - when we arrived, the house was relatively clean but not entirely. On top of that, you are asked to do an incredible amount of cleaning before you check out. You need to take out all the trash in the house, recycle cardboard, throw in laundry, and wash all dishes. Now, I wouldn’t mind all this if there wasn’t a $350 cleaning fee AND a threat of charging additional $50-100 if the house isn’t cleaned. For the high cleaning fee, wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness or the amount of cleaning we were asked to do.
4. Ants - we had an ant issue when we arrived. There were ants in the kitchen. We cleaned them off and it was fine, but minor pest issue. The host offered to have pest control come.
5. Noise - there are two major pests in regards to noise. First, the upstairs neighboors. We believe it’s also an Airbnb, but it’s incredibly loud when anyone walks around. You can hear it very easily which is unfortunate. Also, the chickens. There’s a lot of chickens and they crow at all hours of the day. Probably have this issue at any place!
6. AC - while there is an AC, and it’s a huge benefit, it’s not in both rooms. The small room gets very hot and difficult to air out.
