The host is very communicative and responsive and was WONDERFUL to deal with. The house is as pictured and was spacious for my family of three.
There is a tenant in the basement (or two; I’m not clear on whether the second person lives there or just stays over most days) and there is insufficient soundproofing between the basement and the main level of the house so sound from downstairs does carry into the kitchen/living room of the house, which was mildly disrupting for most of each day and evening. The noise didn’t carry to the bedrooms on the second level. The host did respond to my concern immediately and talked to the tenant.
The back porch is big and nice; the kitchen/dining area is big as well. All kitchen implements were provided. There are no grounded plugs on the second level (except for in the bathroom) so I couldn’t use my computer or anything else with a 3-prong plug upstairs. There is no cable TV but we never watch it anyways!
