This rental is located in a quiet neighborhood and is close to downtown, but the house is a miss. This was a really disappointing Airbnb experience for us. Fortunately we’ve never had this experience with our other stays.
When we arrived the sheets on the bed weren’t changed so we had to dig around in a closet to find fresh sheets and make up the bed ourselves. The owner thanked us for fixing the sheets but did nothing else to compensate us for the trouble.
The house is older and has a lot of character. However, with a rental home, we expect that the house would be well maintained and in good working condition. Many of the doors in this home would not shut all the way or would not open all the way. One of the thresholds in the house was not properly secured and we nearly cut our foot on the exposed metal and nail.
This rental was poorly renovated and is in desperate need of a deep clean, fresh paint everywhere, and routine maintenance. The backyard is filled with piles of junk and dirty lawn furniture. The toilet never stops running. The laminate floor has lots of gaps because it wasn’t installed correctly. A lot of the furniture and kitchen tools are broken, really worn, or in need of repair.
Also, the price has dropped by $50 a night since we booked our stay, which is a bummer.
