Within the first 30 seconds through the front door, we knew we would not be staying here. The entire place reeked of chemicals (I originally thought it was chlorine, but now I’m pretty sure he cleaned with enough bleach to clean all of Texas). And you would think if the place smelled solely of cleaning chemicals that it would at least be clean...but it wasn’t even close.
There was one window in the place and it did not have a screen. Said window had a crack through the middle of it and had a very large dead mosquito in the window pane. I had to hold my head out of this tiny window while I called Airbnb to get the issue resolved (I felt sick from the overpowering chemicals I was inhaling). I knew from the start that there was nothing our host could do to keep us there, so I didn’t see the point of going to him with my issues. However, Airbnb support had me get in touch with him and tell him about the issues we had with the space. He spent the next ...I think 2-3 hours arguing with is about the fact that the place was as appeared in photos (it absolutely was not) and telling us he wouldn’t give us our money back despite all the issues we had with the place.
This place looks nothing like what is shown in pictures. The walls are disgustingly dirty (may just be stained, but the definitely look filthy), the couch is soiled and and you can tell it has been for a long time, there are many rentals on this property (they will be your next door neighbors), and the hot tub associated with the listing is in a courtyard shared by all guests.
I felt the way the listing was written was very misleading and the place was very expensive for what you get. When we left this place and had to book another one, we booked something that turned out to be an apartment in a hotel, on the top floor. It was stunning, modern and impeccably clean and only cost us $70 more for our entire stay (4 nights). Look elsewhere, there is definitely something much nicer for around the same price. Don’t bother wasting your money or time on this place. I would give negative amounts of stars if it was an option.
