Disliked: Cleanliness
Fine for a frat party, not great for a tidy family
In order of can’t easily be fixed to can and should be:
Crazy low 6’ 0” clearing just in front of the front entrance.
4” step into the second bedroom.
Low ceilings throughout and cramped bathrooms.
In-wall light switches behind doors.
The shower head in the tiny, second shower sprays down the back shower wall.
Nightstand lamps don’t have cords long enough for outlets.
The lamps switches are broken off.
Lampshades are broken, as are the blinds.
The ceiling fan in the main bedroom is broken.
A random combination of soft white and daylight white bulbs.
The walls and surfaces are dirty and chipped throughout.
On check in the smell of cleaning solution is overpowering.
The first pot of coffee on the first morning tastes like the cleaning solution and burns our throats
The refrigerator froze and ruined our food.
The host was familiar with this problem. it had happened before. So they left a cooler out in front of the house “just in case”. It was filthy, with rotting ice cream inside.
Repair person came out and worked on the wrong problem. More hassle ensued. I asked for a modest $150 refund. The host obliged, but could have offered more if they had cared to.
Dryer’s door latch is weak, and loads fail when door opens. Washer and dryer rusting out. The exhaust for the dryer vents into the house.
There's more unpleasant about the space to recount, but I'm at character limit. In summary: seems like the host cares about maximizing income with very little pride of place.
