The property had cosmetic updates as shown in the website pictures but there are several items with limited functionality (none of the blinds could be opened, at least one drawer in living room shelf/drawer unit could not be opened).
Greg (Host) replied to questions very quickly, but if he had provided a printed notebook many inquiries could likely be avoided. Examples:
o There are 3 tv remotes but only 2 are to be used. Provide instructions as to how to use the remotes and remove the remote that is not needed.
o Provide instructions regarding use of the AC unit to get heat. (wall thermostat does not work).
We think the Host has a duty to be more up front in his listing, specifically regarding:
o The shower only drains by use of a pump and although this works, it is unsightly and probably unsanitary based on the looks of the mold in the discharge hose. Also, the discharges is onto the ground outside the building – we question if this meets code.
o the condition of the adjacent property to the east (abandoned car and junk all over the yard, and what appears to be an abandoned structure). This does not instill confidence in the safety of the neighborhood.
o The queen bed is a box spring with foam cover - not a mattress.
We requested a partial refund and Greg complied. He was easy to work with and responded in a very timely manner.
