Booked this property because it had excellent ratings on here, but that turned out to be deceptive.
First of all, I had messaged the host asking for an early check in, and they told me that it wasn't an issue at all. We showed up to the property at the time agreed upon only to find that the people who had booked the place before us were still there and were told that their check-out time wasn't for a few hours. I messaged the host back and was told that it was a miscommunication on their part and received a very insincere apology. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal except for everybody in my travel party had all of our luggage and nowhere to put it. Had we known that the property was not going to be available to us, we could have pre planned what we were going to do with our luggage. Instead we had to scramble to take a $150 uber across town to drop our luggage off at the only place we could find to accommodate us last minute.
Once we were able to access the property, we found multiple dirty dishes in the cupboards and dingy pillows on the beds. It seemed as if whoever was in charge of cleaning the property after the previous guests left did not check to see if the dishes that were left in the dishwasher were actually cleaned or not. There were also decorative pillows on the beds that looked to have seen better days. It made me question how clean the sheets comforters even were.
Then when we went to connect to the wifi, we realized that it had been unplugged. Kind of a minor thing, but annoying when considering it in combination with all of the rest of what had already happened.
Lastly, we were barely left with enough toilet paper to make it through the time that we spent there. We almost went to the store to buy some more. Again, kind of minor, but just an annoying thing to have to worry about while on vacation.
All in all, based on the experience we had here, I'd recommend to just pony up and finding a good hotel or another rental with more reviews to stay in. All of the annoyances we experienced probably would have been avoided had we done that in the first place.
