I thought that by paying over $1100 for a two night stay, that I could expect a first class experience. Unfortunately, while this house is large and has many updated features, it could use a LOT of attention to detail, including: the couches are dirty, the end tables are scratched and show a lot of wear, the master bedroom four poster bed has two of the posts broken off, the tub in the master does not have a good hot water supply (to put it mildly, it was lukewarm at best), the oven did not work, the clothes dryer did not work (literally had to run it for 8 hours to get the clothes air dry enough to pack), the front bedroom bath handle was broken, the front bedroom bed mattress was soiled, the front bedroom closet is full of shampoo amenity boxes (to the point that they take up almost all room in the closet), the back door handle came off when turned, only half of the undercounter lighting worked, there was a stack of 3 year old magazines stacked on an end table along with a half of a board game in a ripped up box, and the front and master bedroom tv remotes did not work, making it impossible to watch tv in either room, the bunk bedroom had no remote at all, and there was not one single lamp in the entire place. We contacted host about the problems and he did bring new remotes for tv's, but those did not work either.
Russell is a personable guy, and he did seem concerned when we told him about problems, and apologized profusely, but made no offer to discount or rectify anything except for changing out tv remotes (as stated above the new remotes did not work either) and replace a few light bulbs in the hall bath. I've stayed in AirBnB's for a quarter of the price that had better amenities. Felt totally ripped off.
