To potential guest, I would recommend reviewing and taking the below into high consideration before booking at this home. This home should not be remotely close to the price it is asking for and arguably should not be on the AirBnB market. The reasons are as follows:
Plumbing - luckily we did not have any specific issues with the plumbing/sewage system but as a fair heads up there is a sign that says “PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING DOWN THE TOILET (Including toilet paper)” and points to a “waste bin” below. This was very concerning and something that is not advertised in the listing. Supposedly the pipes are extremely sensitive.
Cleanliness - We expected complete cleanliness as should anyone, especially during a pandemic. We had to re-wash every single dish/cup/pan etc. as they were not clean . The cherry on top were the cockroaches found in the master bedroom. Do not pay this money and expect 5-star cleaning.
Fan and light outside - The outside area is undoubtedly awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed the time outdoors. Keep in mind that the fan in the cabana does not work nor do the outside lights on the house in the back. Cabana lights work well.
Roofing issue - There was a roof problem when we arrivred which we gladly allowed the host to have a repair on. That said I do not know what the long lasting effects are as there were several times were debris would fall into the living room and on couches.
Grill — The grill advertised in this listing does NOT exist. Instead the grill was replaced by the host with a miniature coal grill that is more of an annoyance to use than anything else. We were very much looking forward to having an easy using grill.
Bed - One of the mattresses in the room with two beds has a terrible smell (urine) to it and was stained.
This is a 4 BED HOME, NOT 6 as advertised - The two couches are pull outs but do not have mattresses.
Neighborhood - We had no issues with neighbors but West Park is not a good area nor is it that close to downtown Miami. Given the Miami traffic you’re looking at a 30-min trip both ways.
Pool - Pool is not heated, and that is not a hot tub in the picture.
Host - Our host seemed helpful at first but as we communicated some of the issues we were having we would receive unhelpful and borderline rude responses — e.g “Not sure what your problem is” when bringing up the unsanitary and concerning sign re: the toilet system.
For all the reasons above, I would not recommend staying in this home. Please do better research than we did!
