Second night there, at midnight, something hit the side of the house, waking us up, and someone banged on the front door. Neighbor’s dog barked and people shouted in the street. Muddy footprints were on the front step the next morning. The neighborhood is not the best, and homeless are two blocks away. There was no pressure or hot water in the master bathroom sinks, a moldy shower curtain liner, 2” of standing water in the tub when taking a shower. Upon arrival there was a nasty smell in the kitchen (possibly the disposal) and a urine odor in the living room, which we guessed to be animal urine on the throw pillows. The spotlights in the backyard were broken and not working, which was a safety issue. Kitchen pans were very dirty and stained, there were no glasses, except for wine glasses, and not enough silverware or serving utensils. The kitchen is not well equipped. Outside trash bins were completely full from previous guests. Wet towels were in the washer upon our arrival. Four days before arrival, host contacted me and said there would be a per pet fee. In Sept. when I contacted her about our pets and made the reservation, she did not mention this fee, nor was it stated in the listing (this has since been updated). I refused to pay it.
