Great location, appeared clean. Check in was easy, communication was good. I gave the owner a few recommendations to make the stay better.
-Provide enough towels for the number of people the house accommodates.
-Provide the correct amount of dishes and cups for the number the house accommodates.
-Replace moldy shower curtains
-Reimbursement for the batteries we had to buy for the 3am beeping fire alarms would have been nice.
We had a family gathering, age range of 67-2. This was a family Christmas with kids, not a booze fest. My family traveled from 4 different states to meet here. 9 out of the 12 people staying here suffered from a large amount of bug bites on our flank and back. The host was good at communication regarding this issue but also insists that his home is not at fault and he took no responsibility for the issue. He did provide documentation "with no price or fees" that an expert evaluated the home and said that no bed bugs or pests were identified. My family and I travel together all over the country and outside of the country, we have never had this issue ANYWHERE. Maybe this was a freak incident, but non the less it was traumatic, uncomfortable, and a pain to deal with upon arrival home. As a public safety issue I felt that I needed to make people aware.
