Don’t let negative reviews discourage you from staying. The home is older, however, clean & the host even provides a few basic cleaning supplies/cleaning equipment for during your stay. I had NO complaints during my 5 day stay. Check-In was super easy, and I even did an ‘Early arrival’ with ease. The communication was quick & direct. I loved the kitchen! This was spacious & modernized. The kitchen was stocked w/ pots/pans, bowls, plates, silverware, cups, dry goods, seasonings, etc. YOU NAME IT! I definitely felt like I was staying with family. My stay was for spring not MID SUMMER so the pool was a bit cool, but that was expected! Lol. The pool water was clean, and I personally used the net to collect leaves as the pool is located near a few trees! If you’d like to heat the pool that’s ONLY winter time. I suggest a summer trip if you want that refreshing pool dip without a chill in the wind. The host is very forward with expectations, and if you can manage the simple rules/tasks required you’ll have no trouble receiving that deposit back plus a nice guest review! As a guest staying here do not have “fancy/high” expectations! Be realistic! The photos shown are what you get! The details provided in the home description is exactly what you get! This host is genuine and kind! They’re open to suggestions and are looking to improve the home in any way always! The neighborhood is clean, quiet, with great location. Overall, I had a wonderful stay! I’m writing such a long review in hopes this gives clarity for past reviews/ratings.
