This house was the dirtiest rental we have ever stayed in. When walking in, you smell the mildew. One upstairs bedroom had huge moisture spots on the carpet. The upstairs shower had black mold. The kitchen drinking glasses had a plaque of white mold growing on the rim. All of the rugs, including the bathroom ones, were damp. At least half of the light bulbs were out. The oven was completely broken, even after trying the circuit breaker. That was disappointing to find out at 9pm when we went to first use the oven. Multiple chairs were broken. The couches were at least comfortable. There were two stray cats that would park themselves on the porch and kept coming inside, and one scratched our little girl when she tried to get it outside. We stay in the lincolnville neighborhood every year to have a walking distance stay close to downtown for nights of lights. We have stayed in many charming older homes here, and expect the older houses will have some issues. This particular house was very uncomfortable. The worst part was communication with the owner. We stayed two nights, and I brought the issues to his attention when I could. We have two small children and busy schedules so I couldn’t tell him everything right away. He claims I should have told him about the oven sooner so he could have tried to get a repair man in or move us to another unit. I explained we didn’t try the oven until that night but he ignored our concern. Traveling with young children is already difficult with all the items they need, packing up to move to another unit would have been extremely disturbing to us. As would letting repair people in during our short two nights stay. When we asked for a partial refund to at least cover the cost of our take out food we had to get due to no oven, he claimed because he allowed us to check in an hour early that we should be grateful. Tbt oven wasn’t too big of a deal, it was the gaslighting and rudeness of the owner that is disturbing. He also said they had a new cleaning crew so was blaming them for the grossness of the house, and claimed when they came after us that they didn’t find mold. I wish I would have taken more pictures for proof, but I do have one of the mold. I would highly recommend finding other accommodations and especially not booking with this particular owner again.
