This definitely was not my most welcoming Airbnb experience. Here are a few of the more memorable quirks:
-Having arrived 30 mins before check-in, we were told that check in was at 3 and the room was not ready (nothing wrong with this), but upon request, we were allowed to leave our luggage in the entry way of the house. My friend needed to take a quick call and we asked if we could take it outside by the pool (no one was there) and we were denied; Raazee then just stood there and watched us until we left the property.
-Upon returning to the house we after 3pm, we had access to the Blue Room. Small but adequate room; the armoire was partially blocked by the bed and could not be fully opened/utilized.
-The kitchen was cluttered and not clean - one of the other guests spent an hour or so one night scrubbing it down and doing the dishes that had been laying around.
-While there is a pool, Raazee would only issue one towel at a time, so if you wanted a pool towel, you had to turn in your shower towel first; and if your wanted to shower after the pool time, you had to turn in your pool towel - this was just peculiar and didn't allow the opportunity to reuse your shower or pool towels respectively.
-The house rules state that while pets are not welcome with guests, the house itself is pet-free - this is not the case as Raazee has a dog that is in the common areas, pool-side, and in your bedroom should you leave a door open for a few mins (it's a friendly dog -- this was not a bother, but not as stated).
-The house rules also offered a shared common lounge/bar area - I'm not sure where this was as the listing also says the living space is off limits to guests, but the sofa in the back room (off the kitchen) was covered in laundry while we stayed here.
-House rules also stated that toilet paper should not be flushed in the toilet - another peculiarity, as the house is modern construction and not in an underdeveloped country.
-Raazee walked thru the pool area while we were in the pool with other guests, and while the other guests called out to him and his dog to chat/be friendly, Raazee did not even give a glance or offer any acknowledgement at all; he simply continued thru the yard and into the house without responding.
-Raazee works from home and calls are taken on speaker phone that echo loudly throughout the house/through the closed bedroom door.
As for positives, this was a good price, the heated pool and patio were nice, and the location is pretty convenient. The co-host Ernie was very pleasant, but our interaction with her was limited. Don't, however, expect to feel entirely comfortable or feel like you're at home as the listing states.
