We valued many aspects of Sarah’s home such as location, size, office space, games, sand equipment, and the washer/dryer. It was also so nice to have two separate spaces to use as “work/office” space. We loved the outdoor space and the neighborhood was a fun different experience for us to enjoy with our masks on for walks and runs.
Sarah was very quick in responding to my questions and left a very nice welcome gift for us upon arrival.
I typically clean all areas of an Airbnb, especially in times of Covid so I re-cleaned all areas of the home. I noticed a lot of dust on the headboard in the upstairs room, the floors we re scrubbed with Clorox came back with a large amount of film on them, the bathroom hamper had dirty clothes in it, the towels in the bathroom also had long pieces of hair on them during our first use.
We rented Sarah’s home because of her amazing reviews related to cleanliness. While living in the home for 2 weeks we noticed the dishwasher didn’t work. Initially, we thought it was the pods they purchased but we purchased some new ones and they only worked on a few loads (not consistently). The dishwasher didn’t grab the soap to effectively clean the dishes. We had to re-wash all the dishes in the house because they all had film in them.
Since we were there to quarantine for 2 weeks to visit my parents we didn’t feel comfortable with anyone entering the home to repair items. We felt that a dishwasher not working should have been resolved prior to our arrival especially considering the price point we paid to occupy the space for 2 weeks. There was also no new dish sponge for us to use so we had to purchase a new set.
Overall, we valued the location and set up. However, it seemed as if the house was not cleaned to a standard we felt comfortable with so we rescrubbed all floors (and dirty surfaces), re-washed dishes and all the towels and blankets.
