2/10
Concept of home was nice but just poorly executed. Kitchen had bare minimums and were heavily used/low quality, with chipped plates. The countertop by the barstools reeked heavily of onions, so much so that we couldn’t sit in that area. Hot water gave out on my first shower after 5 minutes and the drain was backing up as I was in the shower. Upstairs bathroom plug for the bath didn’t function, letting the water drain while trying to take a bath. Was eventually able to get that fixed through the host which I appreciated and that may be the only positive. One of the bedrooms had large sheets of paint peeling off the walls. The host told us it would be decorated for Christmas, which was the main reason we selected it, but I think our definition of “decorated” is significantly different. There was a fake poinsettia out front and then a lopsided Christmas tree barely balanced on 2 of the 4 supports at the base. I was nervous it was going to fall on one of us. The tree’s lights were clumped mostly in the middle and top. No decorations anywhere on the tree or in the home. It was truly disappointing. The furniture was very uncomfortable and difficult to relax on. Seemed like a lot of DIY and modern concepts gone wrong throughout the house. Overall I couldn’t wait to go back home which is the opposite of what I was looking and hoping for.
