Overall the experience was average. It could have been above average if the AC units were working properly and adequate per cubic space, if the use of the house was stated as shared or thoroughly overseen by another tenant and host who also live in the house, and if it didn't smell of sewage non-stop. It would have also been better to accomodate us with constant use of AC during an advised heatwave...insteaf we felt obliged to turn the small window units off everytime with left - taking hours for the temp to restore comfort upon our return. This rule would not have bothered us if we didnt also recognize that the entire home's thermostat was set to 85 so its no wonder why the window units didn't do mch justice until late night hours. Also the pool could be properly managed because there was an absence of evident use of cholorine or pH testings. In other words the water was cloudy and didnt remotely smell like salt water or bleach. Latoya, was overall a decent host though I was told with my booking and in the listing that i could pay extra for a backyard gathering of 10 extra people then she changed her mind before my arrival due to a guest causing damages that booked before me
That was simply unprofessional to pre-judge the potential risk of one booking because of the last. This is an instant book option .....so if she felt discretion is needed since it is a home you also live in -it is probably not wise to offer bookings to everyone without prior approval then complain to an upcoming booking about how nasty the last booking was as your reason for not honoring the full opportunity to the same services you offered when I booked. It is presumed that why there is a cleaning fee to cover cleaning for the next booking. The backyard gathering option was why i chose the rental to begin with. This caused me to rearrange my personal trip itinerary...and it would have been money and time lost if I cancelled my booking after getting notified of this prerogative change. But thanks for sharing your attic with us.
