This home is in disrepair to the point that it can not be cleaned.
Upon first driving up to this home we were baffled by the very narrow street and super short driveway(not enough room to park upon). The ability to check in 10 minutes early was very nice until we opened the door. The smell of over potent air-freshener blasted us as we entered and it was not even a pleasant smell like fresh linen, instead it was some musky scent that turned my stomach. We were asked to remove our shoe and wear the flip flops provided. There were no signs that they had been sanitized or that they were clean, as this is COVID times there should have been more efforts for this. You could totally tell that no one had applied this rule to their stay as the carpets were black from shoes and wear and tear.
We then continued into the main part of the house to find the kitchen was very worn, dated, and in disrepair. Old appliances, dirty scuffed sinks, grime on the ceiling and walls near the stove, MANY dead bugs in the ceiling light fixtures, kitchen counter crumbling, 6ft plus water stain on the ceiling, and ancient stove.
As we finished our tour of the main floor we spot a homeowner repair to the wall in the hall with duct tape instead of proper repairs. We then go outside to find debris, tons of leaves and massive amounts of cigarette butts all over the yard. The only piece of furniture outside was an 8 ft banquet table that had been weather worn from just sitting out there and did not add to our feeling that the homeowner took care of the residence.
As we head upstairs we can of course tell that the carpets are dirty beyond the point of cleaning. There are three good sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs. All and all it rather tidy upstairs and the master bathroom looked in good shape, so I was not as critical as I should have been. That is until I pulled down the bed sheets and found several hairs very short and very long in the bed. I have red & blond hair, theses hairs were black.
I have never been so appalled at the nerve of someone to rent out a place that is not in good repair and be unaware of the state of their home.
I called to share my dismay at the finding the bed and they had the nerve to say that they would knock off $50. Please I turned on a dime, picked up the suitcase that I had never even opened and left as quickly as I could for a hotel near by as we were not going to stay in a rundown and dirty place for the night.
THIS PLACE IS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT TO BOOK LET ALONE STAY AT FOR A NIGHT. It caused me trauma and grief and they would not refund my whole amount only the cleaning fee. EVEN though this place can not be cleaned, it needs new flooring, new paint, the ceiling in the kitchen to be repaired, the hole in the wall properly repaired, the kitchen to have a deep cleaning and the outside to be considered part of the house and cleaned too.
I am a Realtor so I have been in thousands of homes. This is not a place that I would ever consider ever again and learned a very hard lesson.
