This is a poorly maintained property. With all the positives that stand out in the property description and photos, there are many unseen negatives.
PROS: Location, House Manager, Concierge, Security
CONS:
1) Due to the poor property maintenance, we experienced INDOOR Ants (kitchen, eating area, ceiling, front door), Scorpions and Geckos. We purchased products ourselves to kill and manage the ants and scorpions. To manage the Geckos, we sealed the gaps in the front door using painters tape. Otherwise we we're constantly removing geckos from the house and bedrooms.
2) Kitchen Refrigerator does not keep items cold. The property manager described this as a “feature” of the refrigerator as it was designed to quit cooling for 1 – 2 hours whenever the door was opened. This is not true. The refrigerator needs repair and instead of fixing it, they installed a second refrigerator in the garage. To keep soda, beer, milk, etc. cold, you must use the garage refrigerator.
3) Dishwasher is not attached to the countertop. When the door is opened, the dishwasher falls out of the cabinet about 5 inches/12.7 cm. The property manager advised us to “be careful.” We used the dishwasher once and it does not clean the dishes well, so all dishes were washed by hand.
4) Linens need replacement, frayed, stained, seams ripped open, etc.
CONCLUSION:
We loved the area and people and hope to visit again soon. We just won’t be staying at this house.
