• Great location, some problems

  3/5

  This home had good and bad points. On the positive side, it was large enough for our group and the living dining area was spacious. There is a large smart TV and the internet is good. The water pressure in the showers was excellent. There were plenty of plates, coffee mugs, and pots and utensils for cooking. There were no glasses and a limited number of utensils to eat with. Also there were no dish towels or hot pads, even after these were requested from the host.We had issues with the efficiency of the air conditioning upstairs. We had to request fans from the host and the upstairs rooms were still uncomfortable. We also did not have enough towels and wash cloths for a party of 7 people staying 5 nights. After contacting the host a couple of times, he finally supplied a total of 8 bath towels, 8 wash cloths, and 3 hand towels. There was no towel “exchange” so we had to wash our linens at the home of a family member who lived nearby. The host was sometimes responsive to our requests and at other times did not reply. Unfortunately the inconveniences we experienced colored our stay.

• Decent place

  4/5

  Overall, the Airbnb did its job and was a nice place for us to stay. We had lots of room, and the two bathrooms were a major plus. The house was pretty nice, but the area made us feel slightly uncomfortable as 6 girls on a trip alone. The houses are tightly packed next to each other, and the neighborhood behind the house was incredibly dark at night. There’s a lot of traffic in front of the house, as it faces the main road.

  The house itself was pretty clean other than a few crumbs on the floor and a few items presumed to have been left by previous guests. There were extra towels and sheets, which was super helpful. The kitchen had a few cleaning products provided as well, but we did bring our own hand soaps and shower items.

  We enjoyed our stay and overall would recommend the place, but I would suggest to research the area to be familiar and aware first.

• Wonderful attentive host

  You could tell from setting foot on the property how clean our host kept the place. Communication with the host was great, and he was very friendly and responsive. Some items in the kitchen i think would have enhanced our stay: some missing things we did notice that may have been useful: Dish strainerHand towels (kitchen & bathrooms)Salt / pepper Garbage disposal not workingUtensil organizer Colander TVDrinkware/glassesHand soap in bathroom Rods for blinds to open/closeIce cube trayAdditional keys or keypadAccess to laundry
