The neighborhood is questionable—large dogs being walked without leashes (that weren’t friendly), dogs barking loudly in the nearby buildings, and houses with their inside belongs stored outside.
We arrived about 30 minutes early and were informed hours earlier that the place was ready for check in at 3pm. To our surprise, we had to sit outside the door waiting for that 30 minutes. This is the only place I have ever booked that I couldn’t access even though it was ready. To be fair, I did inquire with the host the day before to ask if it would be a problem. He promptly responded to let me know that checking in a little earlier wouldn’t be a problem but it would cost me extra because his cleaning crews would charge him extra to finish earlier and that cost would be passed on. The amount was almost half of a day’s stay to check in an hour early.
Positives:
The place was stocked with the usual kitchen utensils, plates/cups/towels. Master bed was comfortable. Master shower was hot.
Negatives:
The dining room table was oversized and made seating uncomfortable for 2 out of 4 people eating. The area rug in the living room was an outdoor rug that could never truly be cleaned. The ceiling fans had over 1/4 inch of dust on all fan blades. The shower in the main bathroom slow-drained the first day to not draining at all for the remainder of the trip. When the host was notified, he did not offer anything, not even to fix it. Someone in the building smokes so it smelled like marijuana.
