Everything in my review is nothing new on this Airbnb House but since Airbnb has now asked me over 6 times to write a review; here you go.
The Good:
1. Location is decent
2. Communication with the host was responsive. Check instructions clear & concise.
3. House is of good size but the photos are a little misleading especially pool area.
4. Nice oversized couch in living area we enjoyed watching the US Open tennis tournament on the TV.
5. Enjoyed ping pong in garage.
The Unfortunate:
1. The neighborhood “watch police” ie Dallas Police parked literally outside MANY nights this Airbnb and watched us, we literally went and spoke to the officer. We were a mixed bunch of softball players of racial backgrounds & it felt like we were being targeted. Response from Blake’s Team said nothing to worry about and it was for our safety. If this is the norm than you should disclose this to your potential Airbnb guests.
2. No Hot water - clearly this is an issue as it’s In many reviews but yeah big bummer in house and “hot tub” which is Luke warm at best.
3. Chewed Up Remote - like just replace it, it’s gross and leaves a bad impression that this place isn’t clean, there were left over items from personal items, trash & beverages in the house when we arrived.
4. Air Mattresses - literally don’t hold air and all the beds are very hard & uncomfortable.
5. This Airbnb is situation in a neighborhood where the houses are literally on top of each other - hence the strictness on the quiet time
Policy, watch out for parking and leaving the back entrance you can hit your car on the alley structures - in the back entrance it’s that tight.
6. Pool - filled with debris from trees, landscape crew literally blowing debris everywhere and left it in the pool.
