Okay so normally this would be a four star review. Not great, worse than expected, but okay enough for the price.
However, almost every communication with the host was extremely passive aggressive. The host sent me six different novels with no substance, which made it difficult to find the actual necessary information like door code and wifi password. I was repeatedly reminded of the house rules, which were just like any other rental house rules, nothing special. Clean up after yourself and don't break stuff on purpose. Then I was repeatedly asked to leave a five star review, which is sketchy at best, along with threats to not return a (nonexistent) security password and give me a bad review if I didn't give them a five star review.
So here's every little thing wrong with this rental:
- AC didn't cool the bus well. Not adequate for summer/sunshine. Some sort of shade on the sunny side of the bus would help significantly.
- AC couldn't be moved to direct air anywhere besides directly into the wall. Drip tube was hardpiped so it just leaked everywhere if we tried to turn it slightly.
- No screens on the windows meant we couldn't open windows for airflow during the hottest part of the day because of mosquitos.
- We couldn't use the hot tub or relax around the fire pit because of the number of mosquitos
- When we plugged in more than two appliances the breaker trips. Nothing is labeled to warn this might happen and no instructions were given to find the breaker box to fix this until I messaged the host after this happened and we were stuck without AC or a working fridge for a few hours.
- Water heater was TINY. Very little hot water, showers must be short and well planned to not run out of hot water. Again, a simple warning would have made this not an issue.
- Bathroom door didn't stay closed. This could be fixed with a $2 eye bolt and hook on inside but instead we had to figure out a way to fasten it ourselves.
- No ventilation in bathroom or windows with screens that could be opened to air out the bathroom or dry it out after showering.
- Coffee filters were wrong size for coffee maker. Coffee was Maxwell House because Folgers is too bougie I guess.
- Bedsheets were cheap polyester and did not breathe one bit.
- No safe place to put glasses and phones next to the bed while sleeping.
