Pros:
1. there are 3 very comfortable beds (including the fold-out couch, surprisingly firm and lovely)
2. two-car parking space in the driveway
3. washer & drier (shared, in the garage, so keep in mind)
4. central AC plus ceiling fans
5. games and space for kids (scrabbles were a hit; big dining table that seats 6; backyard to hang out in the evening - we didn't use it at all because it's August, the weather too hot and humid for us to sit out in the day, by the evening we were beat after a whole day of exploring - if in cooler temperature and the spider webs were swept, the backyard/fairy lights/firepit seating will be very pleasant for conversation in the evening.
6. air mattress in the master closet - we didn't use it but it is good to know there is one
Cons:
1. only 1 bathroom (door cannot lock either) - so if you have multiple families on your trip, probably most efficient staying where there are two bathrooms.
2. ice-maker in the freezer didn't work - already notified the hosts
3. only 1 mirror in the entire house in the bathroom - for ladies who needs to do their hair/makeup or kids who needs it for flossing/brushing, keep it in mind - already suggested to the hosts
4. old house quirkiness (bathroom door often jammed, our kiddo needs to be regularly "rescued" by backing up away from the door and an adult pushing the bathroom door in from the outside for it to open; tricky electrics - fuse will jump when microwave and dishwasher are used at the same time, etc)
5. spare bedding/towels are stored in the garage closet - not organized by room/size (king vs. queen, bed vs. couch bed, etc) so it takes a bit searching and ruffling to get what you want if you use the couch bed or air mattress
Thank you John and Justin for being so responsive during our stay to answer our questions and provide the supplies. We appreciate that greatly.
