Overall, we had a good time at Charlie's place. The location was great - it felt safe, and it was somewhat easy to go from one place to another. Also instructions about check-in, check-out, and house rules were very clear - the host contacted us quite early and always seemed willing to help if we had any additional questions.
However, the thermostat was not working as promised in the house's description (and California can get quite cold over the Fall and Winter). Additionally, although we had booked a stay for 5 people, the house only had 2 towels. It is disappointing and disrespectful to the clients, considering that the host knows how many people are coming. He did seem proactive enough to give us more towels, but it was difficult to coincide a time he could drop them off and we would be at the house. Besides, we found several spiders on our stay, which suggests that the location was not as clean as once thought.
