I feel a little funny writing this. I'll say first off- this place is really well located and the place is just fine. It's a perfectly acceptable spot and what you are paying is reasonable to be in a good neighborhood. Nothing fancy but for the money, I didn't expect fancy. I would be writing a more neutral review if my interaction with the host had been more positive. I'll also say that I booked this place last minute. My brother and his wife were expecting a baby and she went into labor early and I needed to quickly book a place to stay with my parents that was close their house. My mom wanted to be able to cook food to send over to their place, so she really wanted a real kitchen so this house seemed to fit the bill. I booked 11 days and received a discount for booking a week minimum. TJ wrote to me the next day, telling me I had to arrange a time I could pick up the keys. He gave me 2 time choices, and told me to bring $50 cash to pay the “greeter.” I think it's strange that I had to pay someone an additional fee to get into the rental, but he spells this out in his terms, so I can't say I wasn't warned. The last few rentals I've been to had keypads or lockboxes. But- ok. They guy meets me and gives me the keys and shows me where I can park. A word about parking- it's tough. There is a garage- it's really small and really tricky to get into- we could not park our car in the provided garage and had to park it on the street, which was a little precarious. The greeter stresses that I must return the keys and that he will come himself to check me out when I leave and was very intent on booking a time he could come to check us out of the house. My parents had decided, shortly after booking, to leave after 10 days, I had to leave after 5. We had already paid for the full 11. I wrote TJ the day after I checked in, to let him know we would vacate a day earlier. I received no response. The place itself was ok. Definitely some odd things like- there are no dressers or drawers of any kind in the bedrooms, so it's not really possible to unpack your clothes. There is obviously some damage caused by leaking AC that has not been addressed, not all of the lights worked. But, the place was reasonably priced enough- you get what you get. The second day we are there, my Mom starts cooking meals to bring over to my brother's house. She notices that 2 of the knobs on the gas range are stripped, and essentially you can't catch the mechanism that would allow you to light the burner. After fiddling with it, she...
