Rick was fantastic. In the past, I feel like I’ve been duped by previous hosts. But Rick was extremely professional. He was prompt to respond to any requests or questions and he would even check in from time to time to see how things were going.
Positives:
1. Location is great and the neighborhood is nice. Places were easy to get to.
2. Considering the location, the house is good value.
3. Rick (see above)
Negatives:
1. The house is a bit older than the pictures would suggest. Nothing deceptive about this. But we were expecting something a bit more modern. Not a huge deal
2. The garage could fit two cars, but really it’s meant for only one. As is, the house is on a steep hill, and the garage is also up a steep ramp. And what made it especially tough was that there is a large stump on one side of the garage that juts out from the concrete. So when you parked you had to enter at an angle to avoid scraping the bottom of your car (we scraped our cars a few times)
3. (These items are probably one off issues so take with a grain of salt. No fault of Rick’s at all):
a. One night I heard someone snoring outside. The snoring was loud enough that it sounded like it came from the backyard. And the next day we saw a homeless man rummaging through a neighbor’s garbage can. My guess is it was the same person?
b. We saw a coyote one morning as we were going for a walk. That was a bit unnerving. Careful if you have little kids or pups. But the home is in the hills so it wasn’t entirely surprising.
Overall the house and our stay was good. We enjoyed the house and Rick was great to work with. We would stay at Rick’s properties again.
