I did not rent this home initially, but the other preferred home I rented, also managed by this host was cancelled a few weeks prior to check in and the host contacted me and this location was offered as an alternative.
Pros: Excellent location, extremely responsive host who brought missing items the next day, beautiful house in a quiet neighbourhood, ease of check in. Nice open kitchen layout, very quiet dishwasher, good laundry appliances. Master bath had a steam shower, which was an unexpected perk. There is a hot tub which we didn't attempt to use so can't comment on.
Cons: Cleanliness upon check in was a major issue (shelves covered in dust, large clusters of spider webs & spiders, sticky counters/fridge)-all this should be better as we cleaned it all upon check in so hopefully it will be maintained. Not sure how well the home was cleaned before us, as there were contraceptives in the front hallway desk..we didn't clean/use that desk.
Note there are three bedrooms on the second floor with two bathrooms.
Main floor has a bedroom-but one of the windows has no blinds (it's semi covered by shrubs-but not completely so may be hard to sleep if light bothers you or if you need complete privacy). There is a tenant who lives in the basement and generally did not pose to be an issue, but did watch TV until about 10-11pm at night, and the TV could mainly be heard in the downstairs "bedroom", if you're trying to sleep at that time. If you rent out the basement bedroom-which is not connected indoors to the home, it is very very cold and drafty, despite the extra comforters and is generally uninhabitable unless you don't mind the cold.
Also be aware, the blinds appear to be some kind of solar shade with no lining, on the main floor; so they are see through at night, ie people outside can see inside at night if the inside lights are on. This wasn't an issue for our family who tended to hang around and talk, but may be an issue for people who want full privacy. The upstairs blinds have a black out curtain so it's not an issue.
Parking is on the street in front of the home, and was not an issue as it seems neighbours parked on the street as well, just know that there is no driveway to park on or access to the garage.
There were a number of items that had to be fixed that hopefully will be attended to so it won't be an issue for the next renter-ie toilet handle fell off every time you tried to use it, bathroom doors don't lock, foot rests of counter stools fall off, some pot lights flickered, some blinds could not come down
It was a good stay overall once our family thoroughly cleaned it the first day, and my family is easy going so we tolerated the other issues and did not request that they be fixed during out stay.
