I'm not sure how Chalhoub gets a super host rating?
There was no mention that the backyard is shared with the unit to the rear. More alarming is that those rear tenants have key access to the laundry room which is attached to this villa, with only a slotted louver door in between.
2 of the 3 bedrooms the mattresses are on the floor. 2 of the 3 bedrooms the TVs did not work and one TV electrical cord did not even reach the outlet. Even though the owner prior to our arrival, promised the TV issues were fixed. Which is now more disturbing after now reading a January review of the same issues.
The backyard area there is no fire pit and the bench seat was broken.
When told of these issues the owner did bring extra chairs for the backyard, batteries and new remote controls for the TV. There were other minor issues I would not have expected from a villa in this neighborhood and price range. Most important is that when the refrigerator door is opened wide, the handle strikes the stove gas knob and turns the gas on.
John Chalhoub did not communicate well through the VRBO app. We had to text him for the key location and the wifi code.
The villa is in a great location, 2 blocks from the golf course, 6 blocks from downtown, in a safe walkable upscale neighborhood.
This house is for sale. The owner offered us discounts for several showings and for the Inconvenience of the other issues. I only can assume he got an offer on the house as the discount he offered us was minimal.
