This home is cozy but fell short of my expectations. One of the reasons I chose this place was due to the 5 star reviews indicating it was sparkling clean. Cleanliness was a critical factor given my daughter's allergies and a toddler who plays on the floor. However, when we arrived, the living room carpet was pretty dirty. I took a picture of it and notified Ori soon as possible. But because we arrived on Christmas eve, the earliest the carpet could be cleaned was on the 26th of Dec. so we had to deal with the dirty carpet for two days.
Other comments:
-only one dishwasher detergent pod and one box of tissue were provided. There was also an old and used dish sponge in the sink. At a minimum, there should be sufficient detergent pods for the duration of our stay (4 days), one new/unused dish sponge, and tissue boxes in each bathroom.
-Dishes, utensils and cooking equipment were an assortment of mismatched sets. We didn't mind it that much but the frying pans were old and rusty that we didn't want to use it. So we had to buy a cheap one so we could cook our breakfast.
-The mattress in the master bedroom was so uncomfortable that my daughter decided to sleep on the rollaway bed in the living room instead.
I do thank Ori and Joe for being responsive to our concerns. Tissue boxes, new sponge and detergent pods were provided, and carpet cleaned soon as feasible which was two days after arrival. However, they need to replace the cooking pots and pans, as well as the mattress.
Unfortunately, I will not book this place again and I cannot recommend it to those who are expecting a 'true' 5 star airbnb experience.
