Crazy House
The house was probably amazing in its day. However, that's a long time ago and the house is really "tired" with a ton of deferred maintenance. Many of the electrical outlets don't work, including in the master bathroom. Many of the lights in the house don't work. The front door is pretty beat up and flimsy. The house is not very clean. There are stains on the floors, walls and on virtually every piece of furniture inside and outside. The path up to the house is unstable (a combination of rocks, dirt and big paving stones) and probably not too safe for anyone over 50. There were no instructions about how to operate the TV's, or wifi or anything at all, a first in our experience of renting. The refrigerator oddly opens into a wall. The view is great as advertised, but our stay was nowhere near "5 stars" as the host suggested it would be. On the second to last day of our stay, the owner scheduled a team of surveyors who came to the house, propped open the locked front gate and spent 3+ hours walking around the property, backyard. I contacted the host about all of the issues, including the surprise visit by surveyors, but have not heard back. The rental is overpriced and the host should definitely disclose more about the condition of the house if she rents it in the future. We assume the host is having it surveyed because she is considering tearing it down, which might not be such a bad thing.
