Overall the place was solid—great location, clean home, etc. three things stood out for us:
1. Overbearing Rules. The rules and charges for every little thing from not remembering to take out the trash to taking the sheets off the bed to no shoes in the house, was a bit overbearing and it was hard to feel welcome. It felt like the host cares more about preserving the property/saving money than the actual guests visiting.
2. Lack of care. Related to #1, the place is poorly decorated with cheap items from thrift stores. Furniture is oddly places, photos aren't even centered on walls, etc. I note this because all of the rules and threat of charges for not following the rules are meant to preserve a place that feels like it was carelessly/cheaply put together in the first place. It's obvious this is an investment property for the host and they're trying to squeeze every dollar they can out of it.
3. Lack of pest control. There were massive garden spiders consistently in the downstairs area. They were in the tub, the light fixture, under doors, etc. As an arachnophobe, it made for a very unpleasant experience.
