The host immediately sent almost a dozen messages saying reservation accepted, declined, dates unavailable, price adjusted, dates available, pay to book, all after I had already paid to book. The place was okay. In a rundown neighborhood, but overall okay. The inside was smaller than expected. We walked in and before we could even get through and shut the door a picture fell off the wall in the living room. Booked this place because reviews said good for children. Staircase was steep with no way to block off for children and also creaky, so it was hard to put a child down for bed and go back downstairs. Found crackers and Cheerios that my child was trying to eat off the floor/furniture left behind by other travelers. Ended up having to rip apart bags we brought for string to tie up cabinets that were full of chemicals left where toddlers could access them. The couch outside did not have pillows. The backyard had toys from the other side of the townhouse strewn about on the side of the rental. The dog next door was not friendly and the only time we saw her she growled at us from afar. Backyard was basically unusable. There was also construction going on next door, honking, and vehicles racing up and down the street making it near impossible for my child to nap there. Probably okay for a family without children who will spend minimal time there, but the space was not ideal for us.
