Please read before booking:
This is my first bad experience and review. I regret not thoroughly reading the reviews prior to booking. It is not palatable for Airbnb. I communicated with the host as well as Airbnb and a refund is pending. The pictures are not an accurate depiction of reality. The photos make it look more modern than rundown. The positives are the location, quietness of neighborhood, free parking, and the large space the unit had.
The smell upon entering the home is overwhelming unpleasant, as others have noted in the reviews. It reminded me of a nursing home. I bought a candle to offset the smell and burnt it the entire time. I went and purchased a blanket to sleep on and brought my own towels, although there were clean towels in the dryer which prior to me checking in could have been folded and placed in a closet. The walls were stained brown prominently in the dining room and kitchen. The dining room table has marker from a child possibly. The cooking utensils were not properly sanitized. Also, the grout in the bathroom shower need to be scrubbed. As I was on the phone with Airbnb to take a photo with more lighting the representative asked for, the blinds collapsed on me, they were not sturdy if adjusting the strings made them fall. I also found a random sock underneath the bed so clearly cleaning had not be done properly.
Outside of the unit was very telling. The screen is ripped on the front door. The building itself looks older and in need of a pressure wash. The cable lines are directly above the porch with caution tape. The mail was overflowed. It truly seems as though someone lives there outside of bookings versus it being inconspicuous; I.e: Random sauce packets in the utensil drawer. Cleanliness of a place you paid to stay at is not an option it is a requirement. Until changes are made, I would not recommend anyone stay here.
