Jennifer and James' little casita was in a great location for us, as it is close to where our daughter lives. There were many nice things about the home, dated as it is. They made sure there were a few snacks there for us on arrival, there was filtered water, they were very flexible about check-in time. The living room furniture was fine, although not cushy. There also was a washer and dryer with laundry soap available.
On the negative side, there were two major problems. The first problem related to the heat inside the house. There was no cross-ventilation and the single air conditioner, which was in the bedroom, was too weak to cool both the living room and the bedroom. The fan in the bedroom was more effective than the air conditioner up until the incredible heat wave (up to 110 degrees one day). As it didn't cool down for those few days, the living room was quite warm, even with the use of a large floor fan, and the bedroom remained very warm, such that it was hard to sleep. The second problem related to cleanliness. I am not the greatest house-keeper in the world but even I dust window sills, doors and baseboards. Those were dirty and, worst of all, there was black mold on the tiles in the bathroom. At the same time, the bathroom sink, toilet and the tub itself were clean, as was the kitchen sink and the counters. Additionally, the outdoor furniture was dirty.
