Overall 5 stars mainly for
1. Host's excellent communication and immediate attention to guest needs. The pots in the kitchen were in really bad condition and the microwave had a burnt odor to it. Yervant got a whole new set of pots and pans and a new microwave the next morning, which was really nice of him.
2. Clean House, and everything worked.
3. Great Location and great views from the house.
4. Pool was clean and spa mode worked great.
The property though clean, with appliance upgrades, needs major TLC from structure and interior point of view as other reviewers have pointed out. I thought I was prepared for it and had a bunch of clarifications from the owner before booking but still my heart sank as I entered and explored the property on day 1. It was like looking at pictures without the filters. I surely didn't expect broken switches, a cramped bathroom, not enough room to place any toiletries in any bathroom. So though, as the owner has mentioned in his previous comments that it is priced below other properties in the area, it is surely overpriced from a customer point of view.
one small note on the heated pool:
It worked great for 2 and half days of the 4 days stay. We had kept the pool heating ON continuously as kids would want to go there at short notice but the pool stopped heating On day 3. The service mode was triggered.
I also noticed there was a notice in the kitchen that said the property is in Fire zone.
Capturing this so it helps future guests and helps set the right expectations.
