Here's why this was not a 5 star experience for us:
1.	Host on site was not clear prior to booking this property.
Although AIRBNB said the listing at the time we booked said something like "I have a property in the back that I may or may not be staying on site/living there"
During our in-person check in with Ricardo, we were informed that he would also be staying on site and sharing the backyard space.
He also mentioned that on Saturday (during our stay), Living Spaces will need to deliver the patio furniture at 1pm.
o	Living Spaces movers arrived ~2:15 PM
o	movers left ~3:00 PM
o	moved furniture from back gate to backyard
o	installed and set-up furniture
o	we were not made aware of this arrangement until we checked in
o fire pit drop off - random people walking into the backyard as we were having lunch.
o	Disruption and safety concerns during our stay
o	there was no privacy to fully enjoy the backyard space
When booking an Entire Home, you expect to have complete privacy and interruption free and this was not the case. We felt very uncomfortable and did not feel like a vacation home.
2. Bathroom
o	Used loofahs in the shower
o	No additional toilet paper under the sink
3. Refrigerator
o	it was completely filled with owners food
o	half eaten food in fridge/half drank smoothie
o	rotten fruit on the counter
o	no storage space for our own goods
4. Restrictions with our dog
We were very clear before booking this property that we will have our 20 pound dog with us during our stay and Ricardo did not have an issue with this at the time of booking. Ricardo made a comment to my husband that our dog was peeing in his backyard which he was not happy about.
5. No house rules/check-in or check-out process
We had to figure out what we needed to do with the trash as there were no trash bins around.
Overall stay was not pleasant due to the interruptions during our stay. I believe this property has great potential as long as there was a sense of separation and privacy.
We provided feedback to Ricardo in hopes that he would improve his property for future guest stay. The house was nice and spacious for a large group.
