The good: easy check in, prompt communication, centrally located, decent outdoor space.
The okay: Lots of storage, but no hangers in the closet systems. Hot tub didn’t seem to work at first, but after I googled the manual, we were able to change the settings and get the heat element working. Laundry, while accessible, is not free (not a big deal, but also not stated prior to seeing it in person). Only two make up towels provided. Would have liked more since the host is adamant about not staining their white bath towels and the place sleeps up to 6 guests. Wifi available but have to sign in and provide an email for it - seemed weird. Had to send photos of all kitchen contents because lots items were missing (according to labels inside their cabinets) and we didn’t want to get blamed.
The bad: We saw three roaches within the 5 days we stayed - the first one was in the silverware drawer, so we felt that we had to clean everything in the kitchen prior to using it. The oven door was broken which put a damper on our cooking plans. It smelled very stale inside even after opening windows/doors and running the air/fans. We had to get candles to get rid of this odor. Lastly, one of our guests has an emoting support dog. The host initially said this was fine if we paid the pet fee, which is not legal to do in California. When we reminded the host of this, they didn’t make us pay the fee, but did still ask that we consider paying it anyway just because.
