The house itself has a lovely, recently renovated look and was clean on the surface. However, we noticed a strong mildew/mold smell throughout our stay, and found visible mold growth on the bathroom ceiling (see photo). As someone with allergies, this made it genuinely difficult to breathe comfortably.When we brought this up with the owner, we were told it was due to the humidity typical of Atlanta this time of year, and that their approach has been to improve ventilation and repaint over the affected areas rather than address the underlying moisture issue. We appreciated the owner’s responsiveness in explaining this, but wanted future guests — especially anyone with allergies, asthma, or young children — to know what to expect, since this doesn’t seem to be a one-time issue but an ongoing one.At the price for 3 nights, we expected a space that was fully move-in ready without air quality concerns. We’d encourage the owner to invest in a permanent fix (proper exhaust ventilation, addressing the moisture source) rather than cosmetic touch-ups, both for guest health and for the long-term condition of the property.
