Constructive Cristism:
Me and my boyfriend rented this property for 5 days. And if not for the city of Detroit and family visits this place would be less than desired.
Pros:
1.) Location - definitely a good location , at least for where we needed to be . Quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac.
2.) Communication and friendliness of the host started off great. We were given the option of a check in slightly early, and provided check in details easily. The codes worked and instructions were clear.
Now for the cons:
1) your beds are awful. Normally the master bedroom has more than a full size bed, and the beds are comfortable. Here yes 3 rooms as advertised but ALL full sized and the mattresses are extremely uncomfortable.
2) Post it notes??? Seriously??? This one set off a nerve almost immediately upon entering the home.It's a vacation house and I don't know who you rent to but a post it of 'no feminine products in toilet' and telling us what we can and can't do with the thermostat??? That's not a vacation for us!!! Typically, there is a book or similar with instructions and requests that would definitely be more palatable than a bunch of post it's everywhere. That came across very aggressive honestly.
3) All of the text messages. This was very invasive. It was unprofessional to ask us to move the outside trash cans, and the amount of texts sent during a 5 day stay definitely set a tone that was perhaps different than you intended.
Which Segways into..
4) Did you REALLY text at 4 am the day of checkout to ask what time we were checking out?? This was highly unprofessional. The agreement says check out is 10 am, yet the day we were leaving you text at 4 am? This is unacceptable and absolutely pushed my opinion of this property from neutral to negative. Please do not text your tenants that early.
Overall , the home served its purpose and the host was friendly. However, for the reasons listed here, I cannot see myself renting again here. Which is a shame! My boyfriend has family here and we come often to visit. I tend to select places to be loyal to, and I just can't see myself here again.
