When we pull up after a 4 hour trip the house looks pretty nice. The inside pretty much fits the pictures aside from the fact that there were random personal belongings of the owner around the hallway to the bedrooms, as well as their clothes in the closet. There’s no TVs in the bedrooms, just the living room. We couldn’t even use the freezer because it was completely frozen solid with ice so nothing could fit inside. There are fans in every bedroom so there isn’t central air. There is also a security camera right in the corner of the common space/living room/kitchen area and yes it was disclosed in the description, but I did not expect it to be in the same area as our living area and it made all of us very uncomfortable; it just gave the vibe that we were constantly being watched. The train was also a lot louder than I thought and I definitely wouldn’t have been able to sleep if I had stayed overnight.
There’s also several plug in air fresheners in every corner in the house which was quite odd until we started to realize why. Then we started to notice the smell. The smell alone just made it smell like the place was dirty or some old food was hiding around somewhere. It wasn’t just a basement smell, it smelled like there was a bit of a sewage smell as well. One of the people traveling with me was actually starting to feel a little sick smelling it after unloading and sitting in the house for a while. It was super bad and super strong to the point where none of us wanted to stay there for the remainder of our stay and we barely wanted to go back inside to get our stuff.
As for us staying the night, we all agreed we couldn’t sleep there because of that smell, so we ended up getting a hotel and a refund. Honestly if it hadn’t have smelled so bad we probably would have stuck around. But would I stay there again? No.
