So, this was my stay for this past weekend for my birthday, and this is my review for Eric's place.
1st, let me say that Eric was very responsive when it comes to communicating, and he's very kind.
Now, with that being said, here's the review:
The check-in process was nice and easy. However, upon arrival, the keys were not in the lock box, and the door was already unlocked, sitting on a table inside the living room area. So, someone could have already been in the house. DANGEROUS!
After further inspecting the area to make sure there were no damages, I looked in the closet right by the front door, and found a HUGE lizard, which was SO BIG, it looked like a baby alligator. My travel friend was so scared and freaked out, she did not want to continue staying there.
Prepare yourself for not being the only ones on the property. It appeared to be a duplex of some sort, as we were able to hear conversations, walking, and slamming furniture from nearby. Seemed like our unit was connected some kind of way.
Pack extra pillows for comfort. Only 2, extra soft pillows are provided.
The Neighborhood the unit is located in, is not the best to the naked eye, but it was very quiet, and not on a major road with lots of traffic. It has lots of good places nearby to shop and eat and not too far from the highway.
There seemed to be an ant infestation. The wood table in the living room had what looked like baby ants or even termites crawling all over it, and in the kitchen, the sink wasn't cleaned thoroughly, as there was a slight smell when running the water, and again, ants were all in the sink, had to wash those down the sink.
There was someone else's soap and shampoo still in the shower. So make sure you check EVERYWHERE.
There's an alarm system I believe, but it kept beeping, as to say the door was open. Eventually that became white noise, and I didn't notice it anymore.
The outside area is crawling with lizards all over the place, and its a lot of dirt where you park, so you might track in dirt from outside, but unfortunately there's no broom or other cleaning supplies readily available.
You will not be able to regulate the temperature in the house. There is a lock box over the thermostat. So, you'll just have to deal with the climate, whichever climate you get. We were hot a lot.
The chair in the bedroom was VERY dirty already. And the wood furniture was dirty & dusty.
That's pretty much the whole run down. Happy renting, people!
