I messaged the host a couple of days earlier to see if we can arrive early. (Flight landed 10am) Host stated check in time is 4pm. (Wasn’t offered to drop off my 6 carry on luggage’s earlier) According to the check-in details, host said house info would be sent to me morning of check in. I heard nothing from them. So I reached out to them at 2:30pm. An hour later they replied back saying they were “kind of slow today. Still preparing” At this point my family is tired and just wanted to settle down. We parked outside the home for almost 2 hours until the home was ready for us. Finally got to enter the home at 4:50pm. Almost an hour after the check-in time.
After settling in, We had a difficult time with the WiFi. The speed wasn’t enough to run 2 laptops.
If your NOT resourceful in the kitchen, you may have a difficult time making family meals. I felt it was missing the basic necessities. There were no kitchen scissors, pot holders, mixing bowls and larger frying pan. They only had one 6” pan (enough to make 2 scrambled eggs at a time) and three different size pots(8” 6” 4”)A larger pan would’ve been great. The pots look unique but the handles were NOT heat resistant. I had to request pot holders or additional rags, which they couldn’t provide us. I resorted to using socks as pot holders.
For the master bath, we had an issue with no hot water. We notified host and it took them 4 days to send someone over to fix the issue. They sent the handy man without any notice prior to coming. Good thing we were home and available for him to get the job done. Besides the issues I’ve encountered, the house is as expected. It’s neat, clean, small bedrooms, shared laundry room(in garage) and only 1 tv in living room.
