I am hesitant to give a negative review, but I feel that the listing does not accurately reflect the property (at least for our stay). Let me start with the positive. The owner was extremely responsive, instructions for getting into the property were accurate and we were able to get in with no problem. The wood floors were refinished and they did a nice job, the living room furniture was nice and the decorations pulled the place together.
What did not meet our expectations was the cleanliness and upkeep of the property. I was hoping that I could attach pictures so that my review was fact-based and not subject to my opinion alone.
There were alot of dead bugs in many of the window sills, the bedside table in one of the bedrooms was falling apart, the floor vents were extremely dirty, the bathroom walls and ceiling were cracked and peeling, and there were cigarette stains/burns on the bathroom sink, many of the lights were bare bulbs (missing a fixture), the kitchen curtains were ripped and frayed, both the shower and kitchen faucets were not fully attached to their piping, the chain lock on the door was broken, neither the refrigerator nor microwave worked, the curtain rods in multiple rooms were bent and broken, the casing on the window air conditioner was broken, caulking and plaster around the bathtub were peeling off, multiple walls with holes, and the floors were filthy behind the doors.
We considered leaving and asking for a refund, but we arrived late (10:30 pm) and did not know if we would be able to find another place to accommodate our group and once we stayed for the first night it didn't seem "fair" to the owner to complain and ask for a refund.
We made the best of it. Our lesson is that if the price is too good to be true and there are only a few reviews that it is probably not the place for us.
