Beautiful house, but a few caveats
Booked this house for annual girls trip. Let me preface by saying our stay was mostly decent, but we had a few issues/concerns.
House has been beautifully renovated and suited our needs perfectly. Beds were comfortable and the house was mostly clean. We did see mold spots on one bathroom shower curtain and inside the washer door.
Unfortunately, the first night (Thursday), we encountered roaches throughout the house. I contacted the host the next morning (Friday) and he responded promptly. He advised us that he would have a pest control company come spray that afternoon, which we assumed happened. However, the spraying didn't seem to be effective, as we continued to encounter multiple live roaches throughout the house (Saturday). I contacted the host again (Sunday) to let him know we were still having issues and he stated he would come to the house and personally spray again, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, it didn't help, as we continued to see roaches until our stay ended, which was Monday morning.
Our other concern was that the neighborhood appeared really sketchy. We assumed that being just a few blocks from the main streets, we would be able to walk to wherever we wanted; however, when we asked a local law enforcement official, he emphatically advised us not to walk anywhere in this neighborhood, either during the day OR the night. That was definitely concerning to us. There is development in the area, so maybe this will change.
Also, as we were sitting on the side porch one night, we noticed a drone fly back and forth multiple times; at one point, it stopped and hovered for several minutes watching us! That really creeped us out.
While I appreciated our host's prompt attention to the issue, roaches are just not acceptable. Even though the house is beautiful, due to all the issues/concerns we had, I'm sorry to say that I would most likely not recommend staying here.
