4.8 stars out of 5. Read on.
1) Very responsive (5 of 5) - Desi was very responsive during the RSVP process and answered my questions ahead of the booking and was accessible during the days ahead and on the day of the visit. Her husband Larry was very helpful and responsive when I needed a few things during my stay. Specifically, he helped reset the Roku, left some dish rags, and an extension cord. Very quick responses; almost concierge like.
2) Good interior space (5 of 5) - The inside is spacious for 1 person and adequate for 2 people. It's divided into 2 sides. Bedroom is on one side and the other side is the living room. The bedroom has a small dresser and a makeshift "closet" of sorts. The bed is comfortable.
There's a small kitchenette (sick, frig, microwave; but no stove) as you enter and the bedroom is to the right as you enter. The living room has a sofa (bed), a coffee table, a small desk, and another chair. There's a wall-mount TV with Netflix and Roku.
The bathroom is small but has the things you expect. It was clean. Desi and Larry provide toiletries including shampoo and body wash and hand soap. Plenty of cloth towels and paper products (paper towels and toilet paper).
3) Patio and garden (5 of 5) - Right outside the unit is a yard with some patio furniture. On the other side of the parking area (there was a dedicated off street parking spot for me) is a little zen like garden with some patio furniture. It's quite nice and a good place to read, sit, rest, eat, etc. It's very nice.
4) Wifi and table (4.5 of 5) - My only suggestions for the host is to (a) provide a small table for dining inside the place. There's a small bar height table in the kitchen but most of the surface area is taken up by a microwave oven so not really ideal for eating; beside, there's no bar height stool or chair. The living room has a coffee table to rest thing on. I had to eat my meals on the sofa and rest my food on that. Not a big deal but it'd be better to have an actual small table for meals; (b) the other thing that could be improved upon is the strength of the wifi. I noticed that the only spot wifi is good is by the small desk in the corner of the living room. I suspect that's due to that the router/modem is on the hosts' side of the duplex, and the desk is next to the common wall between the two units. I suggest that they add a modem inside the rental unit or add some sort of signal booster. When I sat on the sofa, there was no connectivity, and the sofa is only several feet away from the desk where there is some wifi connectivity.
Overall, it was a good stay. Just wanted to provide a good description and some suggestions on how the hosts can improve.
