No hot water for entire 3 night stay. Host didn't do anything to try and fix it. He did apologize and refunded some money back when I asked. Felt like I shouldn't have had to ask. Seems like this host is one who probably has a bunch of rental units, may or may not actually own any of them and doesn't have much capacity to fix stuff quickly that goes wrong. If nothing goes wrong (like no hot water) then everything is fine but when it does it's really inconvenient for the guest and a bad experience.
Unit is fine, seemed clean but some trash left in the trash can and food in the fridge which included some mystery meat in a plastic bag. With no hot water we wondered how well anything could have been cleaned. Sheet & plastic cover didn't fit the bed so they both come off every night which is annoying. I'm not a fan of the "no top sheet, comforter only" trend they were using. It's hard to believe that comforter gets washed regularly.
Area is convenient and seems safe. It's an urban area. This property is older but the unit itself has been redone. The floor is soft in areas which seems like the subfloor is rotten. Never had any problem with it though and the flooring itself was nice. No bugs which is unusual and a win in TX. Couldn't get either of the 2 TVs to work. Batteries could have been dead in the remotes.
Communication w/ host was good until I let him know the hot water was out then I had to keep asking about what was going on. Check in/out was easy. If there had been hot water, or if it had been fixed quickly, would have given it more stars. As it is we won't stay here again and will think twice about staying in any unit with this host just knowing how they operate.
