Best part of the stay was the communication and willingness to help out from the host.
However, there were some rather disappointing instances.
1: Add states it sleeps 15. We had a party of 13 and only 6 slept comfortably. Bunk beds are full sized beds That do not comfortably fit 2 per bed, and felt as if they were about to fall apart if someone moved.
2: Add states, and was listed in the into message from renter, about the mini fridge with complementary soft drink and water… this mini fridge only included 5 beers. 4 Coronas and 1 modelo all leftover from an unknown previous renter at any given time. While we personally didn’t care if we had complementary soft drinks as we brought our own, when you mention it as a selling point and it’s leftover alcohol from a prior group stay…what else wasn’t cleaned or addressed?
3: We were told extra towels, blankets etc. would be found in the master closet. When we got there, There was only 4 blankets for the entire house (a house that sleeps 15 mind you) and 2 hand towels. HAND TOWLES!! 13 people to share 4 blankets and 2 hand towels is completely unacceptable when you know you’re hosting a big group, and then reiterate it will be stocked with adequate items to accommodate your stay.
4: The temperature is hot. Thermostat is locked so you are not able to adjust the temperate (make sense and I get it) but 13 people in mid august in Texas is brutal. Not fun to sweat while sitting in the living room.
5: Do not count on the futons as a viable option to sleep on. You’re better off bringing a piece of plywood to sleep on.
6: house is clearly under renovations. Items were not completely completed and wires where sticking out of walls / ceiling. The toilet paper holder in the main bathroom even falls off the wall when you go to get toilet paper. There is also a giant crack on the window In the kitchen. (Renter did acknowledge when I asked about it when we got there to make sure they knew it wasn’t from us).
Overall, while this place did what we needed it to do in the aspect that it was a place to stay, the best part about the stay was that the communication from the renter.
When notified of the towel and blanket shortage, we were notified how to access the storage closets where we found only 2 blankets and 2 towels. We were told more would be dropped off In the motioning, and they were.
This place served its purpose, but for the price we paid, it was beyond unsatisfactory.
