I wish I could give 2 1/2 stars, because there were some good things to help offset the bad. But the safety is what pushed it into 'bad'. First, the good: - Cheapest place so close to downtown. - Right off the freeway - Kids loved playing with the chickens, which gave us fresh eggs in the morning. - Natalie was sweet and very communicative. She was great with my kids and tried to stay out of the way as much as possible, since she was staying there while we were renting the house. She also was great about providing clean towels and emptying the bucket under the bathroom sink (I'll come back to that). - Fun books and toys in the living room for the kids to play with, and a banjo for husband to play with. Now, the bad: - This house is a HUGE fire hazard. No way would it pass any kind of inspection for occupancy. There is a super old propane heater in the living room (right under curtains), with no safety shut off. No smoke or CO detectors anywhere in the house. Windows don't stay up, and don't meet width requirements for firemen to get through. Not to mention old and faulty wiring with a the breaker constantly tripping (which is located in a weird crawl space halfway under the house). - MOLD and major water damage from a leaky roof in the main bedroom (ceiling still leaking when it rains). - Natalie is very conservative with utility usage, which is not a bad thing, but made us uncomfortable about using any heat, lights or water at all. - She had a friend stay a couple of nights while we were paying to rent the house. - Her landlord does not know she uses the house as an Airbnb. She asked us to lie to him if approached, as soon as we pulled in. - Since it is close to the fwy, you hear traffic and sirens all night. - Large rodent of some sort (rat or nutria) spotted twice in the kitchen. - Bathroom sink plumbing drains into a bucket that has to be emptied. - Toilet sits at about a 5 degree angle, careful not to fall off! - She actually asked us for more money on our last day (a "donation") for utilities. We had paid for renting a house for 5 people - and 4 of us (2 are kids) stayed in an RV in the driveway. We used our OWN propane, our OWN water, and hardly any electricity- WAY less than if we had stayed in the house. We used house pumbling for showers (total of 5....for 4 people....over 7 days!), and dishes. For meals that we shared with her. Not to mention my husband paid for her drink when she came out to his show. It just really put us off, and was another thing I felt went against Airbnb policy and good hosting. - There is a...
