After reading the other reviews about the cleanliness issues (and the low average star rating), we were concerned about what we’d find—but the location and style of place was exactly what we needed, so booked it anyway. The house has a great location and is very nice and spacious, but the cleanliness issues are real. The visible surfaces were clean, but the kitchen handles were so grimy that I spent an hour the first day trying to wipe them down so we could feel more comfortable. Many of the “clean” dishes also had bits of dried food and grease stuck to them, and the backyard grill had several old, moldy sausages. The house overall felt very lived in... like were staying in someone’s home that was just away for the weekend. There were clothes and personal belongings stuffed into all the bedroom dressers, and nearly every shelf was occupied. The last complaint is most of the time the internet was nearly unusable... as slow as I’ve ever seen. We came away feeling like this place had incredible potential. By investing just a bit more in cleaning and organization, the owner could easily charged $100+ more per night. With the preexisting trade offs, the price felt fair.
