The host was very responsive and great to work with. The house was at best decent. I don’t want to seem rude just want to give an honest feedback. There are exposed wires in the cabinets above the microwave and On the beam below the stairs. There didn’t seem to be a fire alarm or carbon monoxide alarm. The master bathroom has two showers, 1 leaks through the ceiling when you use it. The shower drain stinks when hot water goes down it. The shower does t seem to be completely finished. The pool was dirty. Not a lot of kitchen equipment to work with. It was a great place to stay for the price we paid and really was only for sleeping. Cooking and spending any additional time wasn’t comfortable. The living room seating was not conducive to a relaxing environment. If you looking for a cheap stay and just need some where to sleep, this is a great place. It was very clean just had some odds and ends that could use some work.

This was my communication with the host upon letting them know we decided to cut our trip short due to the conditions of the house.to start, the pin location listed showed a better looking house a block away. so when i got your text with the address you sent, the pic of the street view of the house was a big letdown. the cleanliness wasnt an issue as we understand the housekeeper can only do so much with what they have to work with. the pool was unsafe having rusty bolts holding the makeshift trim on around the waterline and requires resurfacing. the master shower cant be used at night as it casts a siluette across the panes to the outside. the door to the master toilet doest work. the added shower in the hall bath is against code and has an unsafe step. there are stains all over the ceiling. the dining room flooring is water damaged, improperly installed and pealing up and the exterior is rotting away.the air vents are dirty and there are loose / unsafe electrical outlets around the house. some outlets dont work at all. there are exposed loose wires hanging out of an exterior panel. it generally looks like its not fit for renting. we took pictures of a lot of issue areas around the house as backup for review.

If you want to be close to Universal, this location is fantastic! Also, the host was responsive, and we really appreciated her accommodating our earlier check-in since we had multiple people flying in on multiple different flights.However, we had higher expectations for the condition of the home. You can zoom into my photos for details, but this house is VERY old, and that is reflected on both the outside and the inside. The updates have been few and look like they were largely DIY. The eating area in front of the fireplace is lovely and where the most attention has been paid; but otherwise, the house is full of examples of rotting wood and peeling plaster. The amenities are also sparse: 4 keurig pods (5 adults were staying there for 3 nights), no hair dryer, the iron stained one person's shirt when they used the steam feature, kid-themed bunk rooms (NOT pictured as such on the listing) with just sheets and no blankets, a questionable shower upstairs (something isn't right with that tub floor, but I have already alerted the host) -- although, that shower had the best water pressure. The other two showers are terrible. The pool also looks fairly neglected. And a couple live cockroaches in the kitchen. We were thankful for hot (super hot!) showers and the bed pillows were wonderful. The welcome basket was also a kind gesture, though the tip envelope in it was off-putting. This review is being submitted by the team Executive Assistant, who is the one who made the booking.
Master shower is in very bad condition. Also has bad water pressure and water dripping from the ceiling (NOT from the shower head). The other downstairs BR had plaster peeling all over.
Barely remembered to take a photo when leaving. Neighborhood is quiet but this house needs work!
A true picture of the pool. Had bathing suits but did not wish to go in it. Looked like it was probably pretty shallow.
Caution tape, though unsightly, is wise. Several split layers downstairs that could definitely be a fall hazard. Recommend a simple table or bookshelf to hide the wifi mess there on the floor.

It was in a great location and it was a good place to just rest. Other than that it needs serious updating. Also didn’t use the pool because it wasn’t in the best condition. Photos are not exactly as it shows.

The host was very nice and the check in/out process was easy. The proximity to Universal was great. However, we felt uncomfortable during our stay because the house did not seem very clean. Did not use the master shower because it looked unfinished and the hot water was not working well.

Large property, perfect location and availability for what we needed. Loved the living room. Host was communicative, prompt, helpful, friendly via text.Opportunity to upgrade showers and exterior maintenance, but this didn't impact the great location, size, and privacy we enjoyed.

An Honest Review

Overall, you can’t beat the location. Perfect for adults with older children but not for families with young kids and or older adults as there are three different levels in just one area—easy to trip. The house is really outdated, and it’s a minimal viable product (just what you need to shower, sleep, and spend little time at the house). This is perfect for those who plan to spend the entire day at the parks.

Good place to stay for Universal

We had a pleasant stay at the rental. The host, Ana was very easy to get tin touch with. She checked in with us many times on the first day to ensure the rental was accommodating to our expectations. The house is spacious for our 2 families. We enjoyed the close location to Universal Studio.
