Before describing what went wrong, I do want to say that Amit was very kind throughout our communications as well as being very responsive despite being out of the country. That was the positive part.
The biggest issue was arriving at check-in to find the glass sliding door to the back yard completely shattered. The handle on the inside was covered in duct tape with Sharpie spelling out "do not use." We couldn't believe it. Vijay, Amit's cohost, was not able to provide any information. Amit did call, and explained it had been broken during the previous tenants' stay and that the repairman who was there at noon was unable to repair it. I felt deceived and disappointed that we were not informed immediately of this unsafe situation (the door buckled under the slighted touch) and given the option to cancel. We did end up cancelling and leaving - but it was a lot of stress on a weekend that was supposed to be a special event for a friend's 50th birthday.
I feel I also have to mention that I think the description of the location is slightly misleading. It may be "near" Rainey, but you have to walk past a large tent city; not the safest, particularly for a group of women. It's definitely more of a rough "party house" vibe than my friends and I were looking for. But hey, if that's your thing you may love it.
