I am writing this honest review due to the sadness and frustration I feel by seeing people view this listing as good/great. This is not typical of my Airbnb experience and we’ve stayed at a lot! I even use local Airbnb’s when I have home repairs or just need to get away from my own kids :)
Anyway - the host sent me several prewritten messages about how important his 5 star rating is, so I can only guess this is the way he gets bigger ratings - by intimidation. Since I am driving most of the day, please excuse the poor writing -
There is a Coffee maker - but only 1 coffee cup provided, so if you have more than one coffee drinker … bring your own cups
Microwave worked
Refrigerator kept food cold
Oven cooked well but smelled horribly possibly due to liner or whatever is under the liner
Toilets were functional but both shower handles fell off as soon as they were touched, the master bath handle was easiest to reattach, the hall bath was too far gone (rust/lime buildup … I don’t know) to reattach.
The bedding either had debris from previous stay or were poorly cleaned, so we used our own. Thankfully, when we travel by vehicle we overpack and bring everything we could possibly need.
Listing had a/c but failed to mention that it was controlled elsewhere. We had no way to turn it on or adjust the temperature. 2 of the bedrooms had their a/c turned off in the middle of the night. I’ve seen and stayed at other rentals where they wanted to control the temperature but the hosts were always honest and upfront about it. Dishonesty and disrespect is huge red flag when seeking an Airbnb. The host told me that the people that stay at his listing cannot figure out how to use the a/c so he decided he would take the option away and control it himself. That’s incredibly condescending and most of all, dishonest since it is not mentioned in the listing.
His rules are long and demanding but completely acceptable to us as we are quiet non smokers who were all in bed by 9pm and we never wear our shoes inside our own home.
Emptying the trash is a basic thing that we do for everyplace we stay - but to make it less disgusting, the least the host could provide is a trash receptacle without stuck on dirt/food or whatever it was on there.
And luckily we also bring our own trash bags because those are also not provided.
Oh, and if you lost a silver ring in one of the beds. We found it. It’s on the TV stand. Contact the host.
