We come to Pekin frequently to visit family, so this was my fifth time staying at this property. The house is always clean, and is incredibly consistent. This is a nice, quiet neighborhood and I will gladly book the property again if I am staying in the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
It seemed to be. We received email threats telling us how much the fines would be if we left any dirty dishes or didn’t take out the trash or checked in too early or checked out too late. All the coffee mugs had visible dirt or food on them inside and out. The water glasses had food spots on them. The lamps in one bedroom didn’t work, though they worked when plugged into an outlet in the kitchen. It was ok, but worrying about all the possible ways we might have to pay a $20, or $25, or $30 fine made it too stressful for me to ever go back. Plus, I washed more dishes there than they did.
