A strong mildew smell upon entering the home. No working electricity in the front bedroom. A broken sliding door in the second bedroom, completely split in two, offering no privacy. Multiple other broken or damaged items throughout the house.As we settled in, additional problems became apparent: A broken shower door and no working electrical outlets in either bedroom.Torn and missing window screens, making it impossible to open windows without letting in bugs. Poor overall cleanliness: dusty surfaces, dead bugs, cobwebs, and visible hair and grime in the bathroom. Photos from the listing did not match the actual condition of the property. Perhaps most concerning, one of our children stepped on a rusty staple protruding from the floor, which we documented in pictures and reported. The host responded by denying carpet was ever present, yet multiple staples remain in the flooring—clearly leftover from carpet removal. The advertised living room furniture was not in the home, and what was provided was stained and dirty. These issues go far beyond minor inconveniences and reflect neglect in both maintenance and guest safety. The listing was misleading, and the actual conditions fell well below reasonable expectations for a rental property. The list goes on but I only have so much space to list everything. A lot of potential but not enough care from the property owner.
