We arrived at our rental and were surprised to find a huge construction dumpster parked right in front of the entrance of the condo. There is no “front door designated parking”. I contacted the host immediately and was advised to find an unmarked parking spot. There were few of them - none near the entrance. Very inconvenient! Especially with two small kids. Two days later at 7am we woke up with the loud noise above our heads. It was the roof construction started. And continued till the very last day of our stay. I am sure, our host knew about construction since it’s an HOA community and they inform about any changes planned on site in advance. It would be nice to be told about construction ahead of time.
Condo was described as “Completly furnished! Just bring your toothbrush!”. But in reality it was very sparsely furnished. The kitchen was poorly stocked with very cheap flatware, limited unmatched utensils and some crooked old frying pans. It had oven with a huge crack on glass top, which I am not sure if it’s even safe to utilize. Needless to say, we were very disappointed, when disposal broke and there was a water leak. And then the dishwasher broke as well - so we were not able to use kitchen for 2 days. We’ve been told a new dishwasher as well as new oven are ordered. In my opinion kitchen is important and needs to be fully functioning fro the guests to use. There’s no excuses for the host that didn’t have a chance to test appliances and replace them on time - no one should pay to stay here. Towels were insufficient for 4 people. I had to buy extra ones for us to use, the host brought us some on our last day of stay. The pullout couch is very uncomfortable (you can feel the springs). AC unit is dirty, the return grills had dirt coming out of it - which is making it hard to breath inside the property. The shower had some problems as well - turning cold water. We’ve figured it was the shower head water pressure problem - not solved at our stay. TV in the living room is small, no Netflix offered. Condo is located on Clark Rd - lots of traffic even at night! Backyard was useless - construction debris from the roof falling for days, making it dirty.
The biggest disappointment was our host. He was unprofessional and not open to feedback and concerns. Because of all the problems we experienced, we were contacting him daily and some days multiple times, he always acted bothered.
Do yourself a favor, rent somewhere else. Cheers!
