Extremely disappointed
Our intended purpose of travel to the area was for our son’s graduation from basic training. It is near Fort Jackson & the host was quick to respond to messages. Those are the kindest things I can say from this experience.
It was a dark neighborhood with minimal street lighting & no property lighting. Prior to our arrival, we had informed the host we would be checking in during the middle of the night due to flight issues. The host did not leave any indoor or outdoor lighting on for us. It was both unwelcoming & unsafe.
Once we opened the door, the smell was horrendous. Then, foolishly, we turned on the lights. At that time, numerous different types of insects and bugs greeted us & were scurrying everywhere. They were on the floors, walls, mirrors, & ceilings in several different rooms.
There was a splatter on the bathroom wall; the host later explained it was from a remodel. I've never seen remodel material that looks like human excretions.
Our stay in the house was less than 10 minutes. We left to find a hotel to nap in prior to reporting to base. We were not going to let this ruin the focus of our trip, so we refrained from contacting the host immediately after departing the house. Because we did not contact her at 3 AM to tell her that her house is unfit for a rental property, we were refunded 1 night & the cleaning fee from our 4-night reservation.
Read all the details on the Boarding Pass link; It mentioned bug issues, not a bug infestation.
