Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had 5 adults for a week and everyone had space. Nice backyard. Very cute neighborhood and great location. I didn’t give it 5 star for these reasons. We had to change two lightbulbs, they were out on arrival. Bathroom trash can not lined. We had to find liners. No extra trash bags for kitchen trash, just the one. TV remote was missing. No bath mat upstairs. Leaves in living room throw blankets. Nice kitchen but limited cookware. One pan. Four cinnamon but no pepper. No dishcloths. We had to use bath hand towels for dishcloths. Backyard patio furniture was dirty and kids chalk art on patio. The grill propane tank was open. House did not feel professionally cleaned. These are small things that didn’t take away from our experience but I like to give all the details for future travelers. We would stay here again.
