So I'm not a person who often writes reviews, but out of all the places I've stayed at, this was one of the most disappointing unfortunately. Months prior, I had asked if we could set up some decorations beforehand and when we were given the heads up that we could check in 2 hours before check in, we were very grateful. However, upon arrival, there were trash bags filled with food with holes in them scattered in the backyard, paper towels, a screen door and gas can in the yard (which I moved), overgrown grass & weeds, trash cans in the front yard, a very dirty grill and fire pit, a broken table out on the front porch with the front door handle missing and a glass cup just rolling about on the porch as if someone just had a party out there. I spent nearly an hour outside trying to clean up everything in the middle of the heat wave only to find that the thermostat was also turned off upon arrival and seemed to have problems getting up to a reasonable temperature. We contacted the host once we saw the thermostat issue and the outside issues, but never received a message back then or the entire weekend. Inside wasn't much better. There was sand in one of the bunk beds, fire alarm removed, very sticky countertops, evident mouse trap inside the air vent, scuffed up walls, a shower rack hanging by one side, and humidity in the master bedroom. Everything else was fine and if the host were more responsive to help out, perhaps I would be more understanding but we had zero help.
