To all those out there who are contemplating renting this house , here are a few things that you must take into consideration before hand ( I hope this review doesn't warrant a childish sassy response that I've seen Alex give to other less than 5 star reviews).
This house was the 3rd house I stayed at during our trip through the west , so I had been dealing with a few Airbnb hosts already , but this one was very different.
earlier on I had already noticed that the host seemed a bit off due to the fact that he didn't provide his correct address as do all other Airbnb hosts , but I decided to overlook that and judge him favorably.....
but it turned out that my good judgment came to bite me in the ass later on...
it turned out that Alex WAS a an anxious uptight person .
what I mean by that is ... before we arrived I started receiving essays of instructions and rules .
Here are some examples....
no shoes on the carpet
quiet time after 9pm
park in the garage
no pebbles can be found on the turf
no towels on the pool gate
no one over five allowed on the swing set..
and that's only a few of them
I was under the impression that we would be alright with these rules being that we are ok with with making a BBQ and swimming quietly after 9pm ... but when we showed up we found out that that wouldn't be an option.
Alex had wired his back door with motion sensors and alarms that go off when opened after 9pm
in addition to all the other posted rules that were posted on signs around the house , there was one on the backdoor threatening that If we DO enter the backyard, a security team will show up, and forcibly remove us from our house and cancel our stay.
not only that , but when I tried having Alex turn his "maximum security prison" type system off , so that my group will be able to observe our sabbath properly , he recommended we use the front yard for fresh air .
all this is after he locked his thermostat causing the indoors to be unpleasant as well.
overall this felt more like spending the weekend at my strict grandparents, than a vacation in Vegas
I hope this review his helpful along your search for a place to stay.
