First and foremost the inside of the house is beautiful. However there were a few things that def did not align with how much this Airbnb cost.
1. Communication with the property manager was not great and I’ve stayed in numerous Airbnb’s, this is the first time I’ve had this issue. I wasn’t given the code to get into the house ahead of time even though I checked in well after the check in time. I actually had to call him and ask for it. I also had some weird circumstances that I had messaged the host about possibly needing to cancel but having questions regarding the cancellation policy. I didn’t hear back from the host regarding my questions / concerns for multiple days which was another communication issue.
2. There’s a reason there’s no pictures of the backyard. The backyard is just mud and trash from the construction that’s happening directly behind the house.
3. Noise from the construction (no need to go into detail here, it was all day long starting early in the morning so no chance of sleeping in)
4. If you like to cook at your Airbnb’s this is not the one. The kitchen is drastically limited in what they’ve provided for cooking. Absolutely no seasonings were in the kitchen (not even salt and pepper), no blender, no oven sheets, very minimal utensils (no tongs, no cutting board, no strainer, only wooden spatula and cooking spoons??? Not sure cooks with wooden spatulas) and only a couple pans
5. Location, now I am not from Texas and don’t know the areas very well. This area is fairly run down, the street that the house is on is ok but once you venture out you can see how rundown the area is.
6. The en-suite bathroom for the master bedroom had a couple issues for me. May not be an issue for others but for me and prob most women it was an inconvenience. The shower has no shelves in there so all my shower items had to sit on the shower floor (gross), also the door opens into the bathroom instead of out into the bedroom so if you’re someone who gets ready with the door open(me) this is an issue because you can’t fully open the drawers from the sink to get your stuff out because the drawers hit the door
7. There are no TVs in the bedrooms. Again this may not be an issue for some but it is for me and my boyfriend as we typically sleep with the TV on.
In my opinion all of these things combined make this Airbnb very expensive but again the inside is beautiful and they’ve done a great job with its renovations.
