I do not recommend this place for >10 days stay.
The location of the unit is convenient. Close to the highway and have several street parking spaces. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant stay at this place.
I booked 60 days to stay in the unit. For only the first 30 days, I had communicated with the hosts regarding several things:
1. April 21, Power outage around 11 pm.
2. April 24, Tim kindly allowed an Amazon delivery to put a box in front of the door. Later I picked it up. Thanks to him for allowing me to leave the package in front of their door.
3. April 27, after keep seeing multiple cockroaches, I decided to talk to the host to discuss the refund. The host agreed to shorten the stay to 1 month but we finally agreed to have a pest control service.
4. April 28, a pest control specialist came and told us that the bugs come from outside, and they have not been doing any pest control service for this house for about 1 year. After the specialist sprayed the premier, I decided to stay and thought the bug problem is gone(sadly not very true).
5. May 9, hot water was gone. I had to ask the host to fix the hot tank.
6. May 13, I asked politely about the possibility of refund as after bugs, power, and hot water outage I lost confidence in this place. The host refused to refund me, and said I do not have gratitude for their kindness.
7. May 14, the host warned about the washing machine not functioning properly but I never used that one.
8. May 20, hot water outage again. It was late so my wife and I had to take an ice cold shower. Hot water was still out even after both of us finished the shower.
9. May 21 morning, water was still cold. I reminded the host kindly about the hot water. One hour later, the host said the hot water was on. I was disappointed about the hot water and said "This is the second time the hot water is gone. I do believe this is the hosts responsibility to provide necessary utilities. Thanks". Clearly the host disagreed, and he replied, "You should realize that we’re not a hotel and I’m not your servant. We gave you huge long term discount because of that. You’re a guest at our house." As expressed by the host, "This will be our last communication with you".
After that day, I dared not to ask him anymore for fixing the internet constant outage after June 4th's maintenance, and had to bear with the cockroach climbing on my hands to wake the sleeping me.
All my "nonstop complaints" were about the bugs, power and hot water. It seems like the host wants me to stop mentioning this to him and take the paid stay as a mercy from them. He also blamed me for "blocking their calendar". I started to understand the comment he put on other guests such as “kept demanding stuff” or “arrogant”. I cannot imagine what word he will put against my words, but I had to list out the facts I faced. Obviously, if you face anything broken during your stay, please do not expect them to fix it without judging you as "demanding". Probably you should be the handy one and fix their problem so they will rate you as a 5-star guest.
