I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING THE REVIEWS FIRST.
My group and I found a number of issues with this Airbnb that a past guest in May had issues with as well (there is a visible review from them on the listing page). The owner responded to them assuring them that the problems were going to be fixed, but when we stayed there, we found that none of them were fixed. She also stated that she gives her personal phone number to guests so that we can better communicate with her, but when I tried to do so on a couple of occasions, my question was either ignored, or I didn't get a response.
The hot water barely worked and was very inconsistent. The house and yard were not properly cleaned. There were items left from previous guests that were not taken care of. I found stains on the spare pillows. There was an open/broken window in the kitchen hidden by a candle holder on the window sill. There was black mold in the washer. The air conditioning temperature would randomly change on us making the house too warm in the summer heat. The front door had gaps like it didn't fit the frame right.
On the first day, we walked into the house to find one of the smoke alarms unplugged and sitting on the coffee table, and another one in the kitchen was beeping with a low battery. I called the owner to let her know about it and ask for help. I got no response, but suddenly a strange man showed up at the door saying he was there to replace the battery. The man was sort of helpful to an extent, but it was a bit unsettling that I never get proper responses from the owner and then a stranger just shows up with no warning.
We had also tried to cancel our reservation very early on (about a month and a half before our reservation), because our group had a few cancellations and we wouldn't be needing so much space. However, I was told we only had 48 hours from the time we booked to get a full refund. From there I was going to be charged almost half (hundreds of dollars). We ended up staying, because it was cheaper for use to pay for the missing people than it was to cancel and find a new place.
I highly recommend booking a place that gives you more time to cancel if needed. Also, look for a place that puts more care into the upkeep of their Airbnb. The owner stated that she was working on renovations in between guests, while also stating she has multiple Airbnb homes. Maybe its a better idea for this one to be closed for renovations until its complete.
These are safety and health concerns that need to be addressed. We paid a lot of money for this Airbnb only to get what I just explained.
