My group of 10 recently had a weekend stay at Ilya's home earlier this month and it was a wonderful experience getting away from the hustle and bustle of NY life. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a greeting sign with 2 bottles of local wine provided by our host to enjoy. The home was spacious, clean, all the essential necessities were provided, and the local surrounding area was quiet and peaceful. We all enjoyed the heated pool, hot tub, and indoor sauna after a long day out exploring the area. Although there was a minor problem with one of the toilets which prevented the bowl from filling after each flush, Ilya was quick to respond to messages, and was able to fix the problem within a few hours while my group was out of the house. Overall, we all enjoyed our stay at Illya's home and would definitely stay again/recommend other large groups to book a stay.
There were a few minor things that can be improved: The back patio lighting could be brighter (was quite difficult using the BBQ grill at night and was difficult to see the steps leading to the hot tub after the sun went down which required us to use our cellphone lights to cook/see where you're stepping), refrigerator water/ice dispenser was very slow to fill cups/bottles, and the downstairs bedroom ceiling light was flickering at times.
