If you like the smell of dog urine, urine luck! Get it? I love a good play on words. While the owners were very, very nice, communication was fantastic and location was amazing, I cannot leave a good review. I’d be doing you, a potential renter, a disfavor. We’ve stayed at several Airbnb‘s and this was, by far, the worst place we’ve stayed. I’ve never stayed somewhere that smelled so bad and that was so filthy. Upon arriving, we immediately opened all of the windows. Most of the blinds didn’t lift up because there’s no string thingie to pull so we had to just reach through the very dusty blinds to open the windows, only a couple didn’t open at all. The carpet on the stairs, and the rest of the rooms that were carpeted, was so disgusting that I did not feel comfortable going barefoot...and I’m almost always barefoot. There were dead bugs all around the baseboards on the carpet in the upstairs bedroom. There was a thick, dark layer of dirt, dust, and crumbs around every step. I don’t think the banister had been cleaned in years. There were ants in the upstairs bathroom AND surprise! in the salt shaker too. The bedroom downstairs, although there wasn’t any disgusting carpet, still managed to completely reek of dog urine. At first, I thought I could get used to it. But, at the end of the night when I came back down to go to bed, I gagged so hard I almost threw up. Then, the next morning when we opened the slider door upstairs, the rug under the kitchen table smelled like dog urine and dead fish...which, is when I also discovered there were ants in the salt shaker. That was a super fun breakfast. The upstairs felt very small and confined, especially with the amount of furniture and clutter shoved into it. I guess I was expecting something different based off of the pictures.
The price of a 2 night stay could definitely pay for new carpet and I’m not sure what the “cleaning fee” is going toward. BUT to end on a good note, all of the appliances worked great, it only took us about 15 minutes to figure out how to use the microwave, but it worked just fine. The location was awesome and we still had a great time. We made it work with wine and laughing and I just held my breath if I needed to go downstairs.
