Pretty clean but a little dusty. Towel (only one) smelled of mildew, used my own. Shower not very clean. Backyard being dug up and concrete put in. Specifically chose a pet friendly place as I have a 12 week old puppy. He needs to go out more than he can be walked (he doesn’t really understand walking time isn’t chew his leash and sit down time) and I wanted to be able to just let him out every 30 mins, but not really possible with a mess in the yard and the dogs in the front who don’t really like other dogs. Just not ideal.
Half a roll of toilet paper. No trash bags. Be prepared to carry your trash out by the armload.
Have to communicate directly with homeowner in front house and do in person key hand off. My flight arrived at midnight and they weren’t communicating with me and I was worried I wouldn’t have a place to go even though I paid through a day I wouldn’t be there to avoid this issue. Luckily my flight was postponed and I didn’t arrive for another day.
People live in the main house. They want to come out and chat with you if they see you and that’s fine if you’re a chatter. This was not a vacation for me though, I was trying to work and would get caught in a shoot the breeze sesh with the homeowner. Not for everyone. After I left they claimed I wasn’t supposed to have a cat (they saw the kitten and said nothing...I’m not sure if it was in their description or not but when you search the filter is for “pets” not cat vs. dog). Anyway, they claim after my 4 day stay the house reeks of cat urine and there are scratches on the furniture. I’ve never seen this kitten scratch furniture and he weighs 2 lbs, I don’t believe he could’ve damaged the couch and I never saw him do it. He also goes in his cat box without problem. The puppy peed directly on the concrete floors (I tried to be respectful when I got there and rolled up all the rugs so there was literally nothing my puppy could destroy). I brought my own mop and cleaning supplies and vacuum in case of an accident. He had a few due to the pile of wet concrete in the yard that prevented him from going outside as much as he needs to, but again I was there 4 days. I cleaned and mopped before I left. It didn’t smell like pee. They are trying to get away with something so they’re blaming the situation on a sweet, meek little kitten. Bottom line is they shouldn’t allow pets if they don’t like animals and their yard is all torn up and you have to coordinate with them to know when their dogs might be out. I don’t know why they’re targeting me, maybe they just didn’t like me. The owners are fickle and maybe I wasn’t chatty enough. Don’t risk the insult by staying here (seriously, who mops and vacuums before they leave a place they stayed 4 days but paid to stay 5. I was going above and beyond trying to treat the space with respect and they still complain) Not that great of a place once you factor in all the other issues. Having to deal with the needy homeowners and then getting their backlash after you leave...you could float two inches over every surface in the space for a two hour stay, and when you leave they would complain your breath left condensation on the windows. Stay somewhere else.
