First off - Communication with host was very good. Second - I am not one whine and complain about stuff, so what I am going to share is legit! Now, here goes - The house has potential but needs some serious TLC!! The host does not live in the house or even in the area and rarely is at the house, which is a large part of the problem. The host contracts/pays for a cleaning service and they are NOT good!! Upon arrival - the main floor (living room, kitchen, dining area) smelled horrible. Later discovered the source…. The area rug in the living room was soaked with dog urine (not just a recent doggy accident). It was disgusting! After contacting the host - “WE” removed the large rug outside. Went and bought cleaning supplies for the floor and aerosol sprays. Found 2 live, large roaches as the week went along. Dog hair was under furniture (dressers, beds, etc) and even found a pile of dog food under a dresser and 3 feminine products! Hot tub had no steps to get in and out so that was a challenge as we had to stand on a plastic chair to get in and out (obviously NOT safe). The handrail going into the pool was very loose (you almost didn’t want to hold onto it). The grill is a SMALL charcoal grill - not propane. I was given $20 dollars for cleaning supplies from the host for my “trouble.”
