The house is across the street from an elementary school. Check in was easy. The keypad worked great and it was nice not to have to keep track of a house key. Once I re-read the directions and messaged the host (Gail responded very quickly with helpful advice on where to look) we found all the towels we needed. The pool was great to have, we swam every day! We cooked a fair bit and the pots and pans were great but if we had a wish list we would wish for a sharp knife, big cutting board, and colander.
The cons were that while the commonly used surfaces were clean, the level of overall cleanliness was low. A lot of sticky, dirty places and gritty floors. It’s also an older house and not all the doors latch or lock anymore. Our family group recommends a deep cleaning, some maintenance, and replacing a few of the oldest dining chairs.
Overall our group of 9 had a great time and enjoyed the house, pool, and Salud Tacos a few blocks away.
