So, I’ll start off with the good.
The beds were comfortable.
The hosts were quick to respond to messages.
The house has plenty of space for 4 people to stay without feeling like we were on top of each other.
Now the not so good.
This is a good place if you’re literally only there to sleep.
My family was there for only one night for a show at the Saenger, and that’s a good thing. This is more of a no frills place. I don’t expect too much but when a listing says there is a full kitchen with stove, you would at least expect the usual silverware and dishes.
I contacted the host about a coffeemaker prior to arriving. He said there isn’t one. No big deal, I brought instant coffee. What he failed to mention was there were also no cups or mugs. Or anything to drink out of for that matter. SMH. So at 1am my mom microwaved a bowl of water and drank her usual night cup of water in the bowl. The next day I made a run to the nearest gas station and got everyone coffee.
There are also no spoons or butter knives. Just some forks. There is a sofa in the living room with a TV, but no side table or coffee table or anything to set you drinks or food on. It really felt like a bare bones no frills kind of place, which IMO wasn’t reflected in the price.
The electrical outlets in the bedrooms were so bad my charger barely stayed in.
The smoke detector battery was low and it was beeping from the moment we arrived. I contacted the owner about it, and he apologized and said that it was out of his control and he will fix it when we’re gone, (no offer to fix it right away even though he was local), so we had to try to ignore it the entire time we were there and let me tell ya, it was annoying as heck at 3am.
I read reviews very carefully before booking a place, and I feel like this time they led me astray. I cannot believe this place has the reviews it does.
