We had a terrific stay during Thanksgiving week and it was super easy and quick to communicate with the hosts. Easy to check in ourselves with a door code. Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen (even chopsticks and kid stuff!), which was very helpful traveling with three kids. Tea was provided also, and I think some bottled water. but not coffee, so make sure to bring your own. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The living room was large enough for the 8 of us to hangout comfortably, and it was nice that there was a big enough dining table plus tons of kitchen counter space and bar chairs/ stools if we had wanted to all sit down to eat together. We did not notice any noise from neighbors at night and slept well on the comfy beds. Just know that the walls are not super thick, so we do have to speak quietly in the living room when our kids were trying to fall asleep. Be careful using shower in master bedroom bath as there is no raised "lip/ledge" in shower area. It took us a little less than 20 minutes for SeaWorld and Mission Bay area, where we spent most of our time. Location was convenient to major attractions, and about 7-8 minute local drive to a good sized grocery store. There driveway is narrow, so we parked only our sedan on the driveway and the van on the street. The street where house was located did feel a bit congested with lots of cars, but we never had trouble parking our van quickly in the evening. We did end up using the washer and dryer once, but not that it may be a bit loud for some since it's located in the kitchen, but looks like the big appliances are all brand new. There was even a pop up hamper we could use for laundry! Hosts we're very detailed in thinking of all the guests' possible needs! Overall, we loved our stay and would stay there again!! Thanks!!!
