I wish I could rate our stay better but it's a firm 3 stars. First of all, let me tell you that Sam was great and accommodating. I also met his housekeeping lady and she was a sweet woman. Photos actually do match the reality, which is rare, and the place looks very cozy and cute.
However, the reasons for the rating are cleanliness and the bed. I'm really ocd when it comes to cleanliness and there's a huge difference between deep clean and surface clean. Unfortunately, without a doubt, this was the case of surface clean. If you stayed at Airbnb before then you will understand what I mean when I say that the place was visibly clean but to touch - everything smelled and felt stale. Nothing was dirty like that but nothing felt clean either. Everytime we used a new dish, we had to clean it first. Also - we found hairs in so many places - in the shower on the wall, on the couch blanket, on those furry couch pillows. Finding and removing hair is very difficult. I'm a host myself, I should know. But doing so is necessary because it's gross to see somebody else's hair, period! And unfortunately, we saw quite a few hairs. Another reason for this rating is the bed. It's one of the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in - super hard and the mattress is sunken in. When you lay down, you basically fall into the slump left by other people and it's so uncomfortable. My girlfriend and I both didn't get any rest sleeping on this bed and we woke up with our backs hurting every morning. One the bed pillows also had hair and we threw it on the floor because it was disgusting and we almost laid our head on it.
Unfortunately cleanliness issue and this hard uncomfortable slumpy bed ruined our stay - no matter how beautiful sunsets are from the window (and they really are breathtaking), our discomfort outweighed any of the benefits.
We hate leaving a three star review, but we wanted to be honest.
