Good experience overall
I would like to leave a very honest review here. We had a good experience overall in this house. Let’s start with good stuff. It’s beautiful, very well taken care of, clean, spacious. Kitchen has everything you can imagine! Name it they have it! They have vinyls for vinyls lovers ) Photos on the website reflect exactly what this house has to offer. This house has beds for 12 people. The rest of your party has to sleep on the couches. Not sure how comfortable they are. Their garage fits 3 cars.
Let’s talk about things that we didn’t like. First: house rules that you will get after you make a purchase and that you won’t find in their listing even though I think they should be listed there so people know before they make a final decision. At least some of them. We literally felt like we had to hide ourselves all the time making sure their neighbors don’t see or hear us.
Second: You won’t get the address till 5pm. By no means. Don’t even think about it. We got ours at 5.10pm and we had people hanging at the airport waiting to get the address and give it to their Ubers.
Third: you are not allowed to park your cars on their own driveway, only in the garage and make sure you all get in your cars inside the garage and then you all drive out. They say it’s for security reasons but at the same time they say it’s nice and peaceful neighborhood. If you guys don’t want your neighbors to complain about Airbnb in this area why renting it then?
But the most strange part is their quiet policy. You can’t stay outside after 10pm.
The quite time is 10pm - 6am and during this given time your noise is not supposed to go over 70 Hz. This is what the rule says. They have a decibel meter on the wall that measures it.
So we were sitting by the hot tub, talking after 10pm and I specifically kept my eye on that decibel meter. We were not going over 70Hz. Guess what? Woman’s voice through the camera started telling us that we have to go in! Again we were not going over 70Hz as the rule says! This was the most unpleasant part that happened to us in this house. And it wasn’t once! We heard the same message from the camera the day before.
Sitting by the pool, not making noise, screaming or having a party, being watched and hear somebody’s voice over the camera that tells you to go in.... I think it’s a bit too much.
We wish we knew all those rules before we booked this property.
