The house felt dirty, appliances were broken, and the house was not stocked with enough essentials.
Problem #1: Broken Appliances
Main problem: the garbage disposal was broken so the sink backed up and filled to the very top when trying to run the dishwasher (we never put any food down there; we noticed it when we just turned on the water). This made the kitchen stink. We were afraid to run the dishwasher for several days then we finally ran it on a light load setting and sat there while it ran to make sure the sink didn't overflow. When he told him about this, he said he already knew about it. There was no sense of urgency in fixing it during our stay.
The fridge leaked so we had to put towels on the floor in front of it.
The plug in one of the sinks in the master bathroom stayed down so we had to just remove it and put it out of the way under the sink.
Problem #2: Dirty
There was hair in the bathroom tub, shower, and floors.
There was a leftover potato dish in the fridge (yuck).
The master bath tub plug was down when we got there and there was water in the tub.
Problem #3: Not Enough Supplies
Since we were afraid to run the dishwasher after the first time it filled the sink, we wanted to wash our dishes by hand. But there was no sponge or scrub brush. We bought one so it should there for future guests now.
There was also no wash cloth or wipes to wipe down the kitchen table and countertops after meals. We ran out of paper towels on our 2nd day.
There were very few cooking supplies - not enough to make many good meals.
There were barely enough towels for us. Definitely not enough if we had wanted to go swimming. And no wash cloths.
I'm very surprised at the reviews from other guests saying it was clean and enjoyable. If Santha stays there, himself, for a week to see what it's like, and then invests in fixing the broken appliances, cleaning the house better, and stocking it a bit more, this could be a good vacation rental. Right now, it doesn't feel ready for paying guests.
