We were extremely disappointed with this property and genuinely concerned from a health perspective. The overall apartment impression wasn't what was depicted in the pictures but that was somewhat expected. The real issues were the safety hazards. We were staying in this unit for a couple months as we're in the process of moving. Every couple days we would have to sweep the front porch because we thought the tree overhanging the front stoop was dropping seeds of some sort with an unpleasant smell. Not the end of the world, until one day around dusk we realized they weren't seeds at all but bat droppings as we saw the actual bats flying around!! Mind you, we're not talking about a couple droppings. Every 2-4 days there would be mounds we would have to sweep off the front stoop! Like most people we've never dealt with bats so every day we're walking over these "seeds" and unknowingly walking in bat waste. We even had two injured live bats end up right on the front porch! To make matters worse, there is a 1/2 gap in the front door so the unpleasant odor flowed into the house not to mention allowed bugs to come and go freely. After contacting the host, wildlife control came out within 4-5 days and left a huge net up for about a week after that and eventually sealed the nest hole. The hosts initial response was somewhat blaming us like we should have diagnosed the bat problem sooner, said the bats were an endangered species making me think this wasn't the first he'd heard of the issue, and then actually debated the safety of bat waste being in the walkway. The other hazard is there is mold growing on the air vents and ceiling from the general humidity in the unit probably caused by the gap in the front door. The back patio screen is also in very poor shape leading to it constantly being dirty with leaves, bugs, and dirt blowing in. Outside of the poorly kept unit, the overall community is nice, feels safe, and neighbors were friendly. We documented everything so hopefully this allows us to post pictures.
