Do your homework before considering this property - ask the host for pictures showing issues have been resolved before booking.
Honestly, calling this unit newly remodeled wasn’t a fair or accurate reflection of the condition of the property. It was very misleading actually but we were stuck after paying you $2500.00 for 12 nights to go somewhere else so we tried to make the best of the situation and stay away from the property as much as possible.
1. Again, as previously advised the front door is not secure. A locking deadbolt with strike plates and screws into the Jack & king studs are needed. Your dismissive nature to the concern was not comforting or properly addressing a security problem.
2. The broken floor tiles are not safe and someone can get cut on the sharp, jagged edges in the living room and kitchen.
3. The walls are all beat up and scuffed up. And just very dirty.
4. I’m not sure if it was food, makeup or blood but there’s splatter on the walls of the bathroom near the tub and vanity - it’s really gross.
5. The toilet had newer caulking around the base but whomever worked on it didn’t fix it as it still leaks black water (sewage) onto the floor and over to the base of the tub.
6. The tub was filthy. We scrubbed it to make it usable but it has chemical stains that appear to be permanent.
7. Adding door pulls to the kitchen cabinets without cleaning the caked on grease and dirt first?
8. The fridge is missing shelves both inside and built into the door.
9. The flies inside that were present when we arrived took half the stay to kill/die off.
10. The HVAC is a nightmare for anyone with allergies. It doesn’t appear the filter was routinely changed in the past. The build up of dust within the ductwork and coil must be significant as the unit does not cool evenly and large deposits of dirt and dust were observed on the front bedroom door casing and the bathroom wall/ceiling below the vent. We had to take allergy medications in order to use the Hvac as the windows wouldn’t open (not to mention safety issues of using open windows in that area).
11. The back bedroom window wouldn’t lock. But it wouldn’t move either so it’s a safety issue all the way around for breaking/entering and egress.
12. The front bedroom mattress was completely worn out and had failed springs. You could only sleep on 8-10” of the left side. At the end of the stay we looked under your mattress cover and the staining was absolutely disgusting and unhygienic. It appears someone had repeatedly peed the bed.
13. The parking is too tight to expect four vehicles off street. You have room to pour a properly size parking pad.
14. Communication where/which garbage cans are yours needs improvement as does just piling up garbage in front of the rental for the last three days of the stay - it smelled and trash blew around.
15. After alerting you to what I’m certain was a drug deal in your driveway, you dismissed it. After stopping a beat officer the following day and being told that the neighborhood is known for criminal activity, I looked at the crime reports - this street is the lowest rating for crime in Dania Beach. https://crimegrade.org/safest-places-in-dania-beach-fl/. You were dismissive of the concern but the crime reports are very concerning.
16. The furniture was not comfortable. The kitchen table and chairs is put together quality with rough edges that scratch/cut. The couch in the living room was so uncomfortable we sat in the floor on the dirty rug. The front bedroom bed was unusable for both the depression in the failed springs and the disgusting condition.
17. The four towels made available for a two person 12 night stay were not usable. They had hair from prior persons on them and they were heavily stained.
At 167 per night we overpaid 3-4 times it’s actual value. You’re house rules seemed most concerned with herding people out on time than actually creating a comfortable, safe, clean environment to rent out. This is not a good Airbnb rental option and needs significant cleaning, property improvements and professional management to make it a comfortable experience.
