Charming Home Near IAH, Minutes from Malls!

This was a bit of a complicated stay. Upon arrival, we were given the wrong code and had to call to get the correct one. Upon entering, we noticed that the place looked to have been cleaned awhile ago, then the floors were replaced and it was not cleaned after that, so the entire lower level was covered in a layer of sawdust. The microwave is also fried internally and unsafe to use. They did send out a cleaner the next day, which resolved that issue. They also sent a new countertop microwave at our request. Unfortunately, there are construction debris all around the outside of the house and backyard. These were not taken care of during our stay but was not a huge deal for us since we don't have kids. It would be a safety hazard for kids. Overall, this place has a lot of potential but it seems it is still being fixed up and in my opinion should not be rented out until the renovations and repairs are complete (and all construction debris is cleared). The place was otherwise clean and neighborhood is fine. They answered and helped us promptly.

We walked in and left within 15 minutes due to the concerns with the property. Upon arrival, the home seemed abandoned, so maybe it hasn’t been visited in a while. It should not be listed as a rental in the condition that it was in. Multiple rooms had spider webs all over the ceilings, there were no smoke detectors, the ceiling was cracked, one of the rooms had multiple wasps flying around, and I’m allergic to wasps, so we had to leave. The home is a fixer upper basically that is up for lease or rent. I reached out to the owner to try to get a refund for it due to the conditions and he said he could only do 50% of it as a courtesy. I don’t know if I’ll get it back, but hopefully I do. There were safety concerns with the property and I legit didn’t feel safe for our family to stay there overnight. We stayed at a hotel less than a mile away. They offered a different property, but we were already at the hotel and it was late at night. One pro is that communication was great and the host was very professional. They were also quick to help us get inside the home since the code didn’t initially work.

I enjoyed my stay at this home! It was very spacious and the neighborhood is quiet. The host and his assistants are easy to reach as well ! You are also provided with about 3 numbers to reach the landlord if anything is need. The home was clean for the most part, there were things that were not the most neat. The soap wasn’t filled and it was only 4 rooms available, 2 are locked. There are also 3 small dogs that live next door, they are pretty harmless just something to note if you are interested in this property. Overall, the home was beautiful and I would recommend it.
