Upon checking in the first thing I did was go to the bathroom. I noticed hairs on the floor. Then saw there was food/stains on walls and counter sides in kitchen. It looked like someone had done a quick wipe off of the counter without scrubbing the food crusted on it. One of the master bath sinks was clogged. The basement tv (one of only two TVs in the place) kept asking for a code. We asked the management for the code and they had to follow up with the owners. Then the next day we got a message saying the owners were claiming we bought something off their Paramount account which no one had watched. We asked for details and never received a response. The grill was broken, which we didn’t discover until after we’d bought food to grill. The worst part of our stay was our son not sleeping the first night because his bed smelled like pee. Sure enough, there was pee on the mattress that reeked. I have no idea how the cleaning service didn’t smell this when changing the sheets.

House was modern, cute interior, enough beds for the entire family of 9. Wish there were more full bathrooms though only has 2 full and one half for 5 bedrooms. No bathroom in basement where the 5th bedroom was. House was within walkable distance to south beach and downtown south haven. Outdoor grill didn’t really work that well, i think it was out of gas? Kitchen is well equipped with all our needs.
