***DO NOT BOOK***
The aesthetic of the house is beautiful, it’s the main reason we booked it. It’s also why we decided to spend more money to stay in the accommodation; however, when you’re paying almost $4,000 for just a few nights - and specifically a $380 cleaning fee and service fee of $430 - you expect your accommodations to be pristinely clean. Especially when we couldn’t check in early because there is supposed to be a “quality check” prior to new guests entering the house.
Right from when we walked in, we were extremely disappointed, and quite frankly, disgusted. The floors had not been mopped. The stairs and floors had dust, dirt and dead bugs everywhere. The baseboards looked like they’d never been cleaned. There were towels that were dirty and stained. Someone’s bed sheets were dirty. The couch had stains everywhere. Towel racks were falling off the wall. There’s a frying pan in the pantry with eggs still on it, which someone wrote a review about more than three weeks before our stay.
On top of that, the quality check was not complete before 4 pm when we checked in…….after we couldn’t do an early check in specifically because this had to happen before this time. Someone finally came at around 430 pm to do the check. We expressed our frustrations to her. She swept the floor and checked the towels with us, which we appreciated, but it was still not up to par. The place needs to be deep cleaned.
Walking into this on your vacation getaway that you have been waiting for months to go on, and that you have paid a fortune to stay at, is not what you want. We spent the first hour Lysol wiping and vacuuming the house ourselves with our personal products.
On top of all of this, we tried reaching out to the host and they were going to compensate us a few hundred dollars in exchange for basically signing a NDA to not post anything negative about the rental. I’m sure that’s why the positive reviews outweigh the negative…..
Two things to learn here:
1.	Don’t waste your time or money on this place (also it’s in a bad area … every Uber that dropped us off warned us not to go out in the area at night)
2.	Go straight to air b&b if you have a problem with your rental so you can be compensated appropriately and also warn the next poor soul who decides to stay here
