Everything about the trip and the stay was just fantastic. We loved the house, the pool, and Suzanne's amazing attention to little details. The house was filled with fresh, beautiful flowers. Suzanne got little welcome gifts for the kids that blew them away - they were so nice that I kept checking back to make sure she really meant for them to keep the gifts. She sent toys for the kids to play with during the stay that kept them extremely happy and occupied. The pool was perfect for our family. The bathrooms were well stocked with cozy robes and clean towels. Basically, everything exceeded our expectations.
A few points about other reviews:
It is true the house is on a busy street, but the description does say that so we were prepared. Also, if you have young kids, you are already up way earlier than you can hear the cars anyway so it didn't bother us in the least. There is a secure fence in the front so you don't have to feel unsafe letting kids play in the front. You cannot hear any traffic at night.
There is a washer and dryer and we used it every day. Laundry soap was even supplied. Literally everything we needed was there.
There were cameras out back and in front but not in the house. We also have security cameras at home. These are for safety. I did not feel watched, I felt safe.
This is my first Airbnb experience. I have been reluctant to do it because I like the service and the freedom that comes with hotels. And I feel weird about staying in someone's house. I dislike actual BNBs because I like privacy. But with 4 young kids, I don't have the ability to do that anymore because we need space and a kitchen. I can truly say that this house was the best of both worlds and we didn't feel anything other than pampered.
