As a Super Host of 10 homes, I was disappointed in the choice I made to stay here and for the first time, I wished we had stayed in a hotel instead. I know how important reviews are and always try to leave a good one, but I have to be honest.
The photos and reviews of all Amanda's homes made me think it was a nice place to stay and the location was optimal, but it smelled horrible like old beer cans/trash (literally made me nauseous) and every handle was sticky and fingerprinted, faucet in bathroom had not been cleaned, there were several long black hairs on the shower wall, linens were scratchy with rips/holes. I was glad we didn't plan to eat there because all the silverware and kitchen items were all dirty. I brought disinfectant wipes and cleaned everything we had to touch.
I alerted Amanda right away of the smell and uncleanliness and asked for some lemon cleaner or something - she said she would send someone, but we were out. I told her they could leave it at our door or come in any time while we were at our conference the next day, but no one did. I spoke to another couple who was attending the same conference and they said they had the same dirty experience with their apartment on the same floor, also same host, except they didn't have the smell.
The location was perfect, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with good pressure, but those are the only positives. We were there 3 nights and fortunately only slept and showered there and were out the rest of the time.
I definitely felt like the management of the home is automated and lazy - not really caring about the quality of the property or guest any longer. I did not ask for any compensation, only lemon cleaner, but again, did not receive it over the 3 day period.
