I’ll start with the positives. Nice, quiet location, near Manor rd. Walking distance/short drive to great eateries/bars and other local attractions. The garden area was a nice place to wind down. The bungalow was also nicely decorated.
The negatives: Upon arrival, I noticed beard clippings in the bathroom sink, other bodily hairs on the toilet, debris on the floors, and crumbs/stains on the kitchen counter. There were also cobwebs in the corners and dust bunnies accumulated around storage containers they had sitting just under the edge of the bed. We arrived later in the day and were eager to leave our luggage and check out the area/get dinner, so I found Clorox wipes and wiped down all the surfaces, shower floor, and door handles myself instead of bothering with contacting the host. In hindsight, I should have immediately inspected the bed linen as I found numerous dark hairs (I’m blonde) and debris on the sheets and pillow cases the following day. Needless to say I changed the bed linens as well. I also found a neti pot in the shower.
On the second day I complained to the host, who waived the cleaning fee ($33?) after telling me the housekeeper had not shown up. After thinking about it, I asked for a bit more of a refund (no specific amount). He immediately called me a “scammer” twice and implied it was my fault that housekeeping didn’t come out because I hadn’t complained upon arrival. Yes, in hindsight I wish I would have complained sooner, however his response to my question was rude and overactive. He admitted there was no housekeeper, yet it was my fault? Terrible way to end an otherwise great stay in Texas.
