Great Host, But Listing Needs More Transparency
Our stay was smooth in terms of booking, and host Priscilla Williams-Mottley was warm, personable, and very responsive—she made the coordination process easy and welcoming.There were, however, a few things that were clearer in the listing to help us make a more informed decision. However, the listing didn’t mention that the home shares a wall with an occupied apartment, which affected privacy and quiet.Upon arrival, the house had a strong odor, possibly from fumigation. Our efforts to air it out were limited—some windows were covered with plastic, and the doors didn’t have screens. The scent began to dissipate as our stay ended.Cleanliness was another concern. We found hair in the master bedroom and bathroom that did not match ours, and the bed linens did not seem freshly washed. Without access to a washer, dryer, or vacuum, it was difficult to resolve these issues ourselves.Other details worth noting: there were ants in the kitchen area (and microwave), the unpaved road leading to the home with potholes and water buildup was tough to navigate; the immediate area surrounding the home was not aesthetically pleasing. Inside, towel bars and extra bedroom furniture to place personal items and toiletries would improve functionality and comfort. The master bedroom AC was not used due to an allergic reaction, likely related to dust or allergens.While we appreciated the host’s kindness and communication, full transparency would improve future guest experiences.
