You think you're getting a good quality, single-family home in a highly-desirable area. What you really get is something that feels dangerously close to large homeless camps, on the outskirts of what is a nice area. You're also sharing a parking area and this is a duplex, not a single family home. You don't find that out until you get the check-in instructions!
Only thing I really enjoyed was that the host was very responsive, I got a nice hot shower, and the AC worked well!
The place is REALLY run-down. DO NOT STAY HERE ALONE if you’re a woman… The front door appears to have been broken into at first check-in... It's also a duplex, although it's listed more like a single family home. It's clear the owner uses this purely as an investment and does not take pride in the quality she offers to her guests. Both me, and the people staying in the other duplex were extremely disappointed with the condition of the property. I would have tolerated the area a little better if the place was in better condition and I felt like I could hide in it and it didn't feel so scary - I genuinely just felt unsafe and left the next morning after crying myself to sleep and begging the owner to let me out of my 2 week reservation (Which I should add that she was gracious to help me get out of the reservation and gave me back 100% of what was left of the reservation, only charging me for the one night)!
The smoke detectors were nowhere to be found (pulled off the walls), lamps were broken, light switches literally falling off of the wall when you try to turn on the kitchen lights. The screens for the windows were laying out in the backyard. The stove hood looked like it was glued back into the ceiling. The couch was gross and you could tell it was super old and very dirty. The "master" bedroom has two beds in it (not what is pictured)... a Full Size bed and a twin (should really be a king or at least a queen for a master). ALL of the beds in the house are HORRIBLY uncomfortable. I don't even know how you get such an uncomfortable bed. When I went to lay down in the bed in the master, the bed frame broke! Clearly has been an issue in the past that has not been resolved like I had previously been assured the issues were. There wasn't sufficient window coverings on the back slider and there are holes in the slider where it looks like it was shot! While the place smelled like bleach, there was significant dust on the surfaces (ie: the end table next to the couch). There was a dirty earplug next to the bed and it was clear that there is not a high level of attention to detail regarding cleanliness here, which super concerning is given there is a global pandemic happening and we’re sleeping in a pillow that someone else laid on! I should also add that there were no batteries in the remotes, and just so many issues... I could go on and on.
If you want somewhere to stay and do not care about any type of quality, party with friends and shack up in a low end house, this might be your spot. I do not recommend this for someone who is traveling alone, a couple hoping to have a house to call home for a few weeks or anyone that has a quality requirement.
The place is not properly priced for the poor condition of the property. You can stay in so many nicer accommodations (airbnb or hotel/extended stay). If this were a hotel it would be rated as a one or two star motel!
