Plusses
- Location was an in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood.
- Backyard was fantastic with a big pool and jacuzzi (no jets unfortunately)
- Kitchen was well stocked with all utensils and dishes you'd need (some pots looked really beaten up however).
Deltas
- The owner did not mention this but she was on property in their detached garage the whole time. Would see her and her husband coming and going often. Not a huge deal but should be upfront, especially when we're out in the pool with their window facing the pool. It was creepy.
- Check in was 5pm, check out was 11am which seems quite aggressive compared to other hotels/airbnbs. She did accommodate for a 2pm check out but her family friends tried to enter the property at 1:45pm while we were loading the car and proceeded to stand outside while we were exiting.
- Wasn't able to reach her by phone the 3 times I called for issues (e.g. the pool wasn't warm as requested). She did respond within an hour via Airbnb but that is the only form of communication.
- The biggest delta was the furniture situation. The two places where we hung out - living room and bed - were incredibly uncomfortable. The pictures she currently has of the living room is accurate - it's basically a bench with 2 standalone chairs that are very stiff. If you have back problems, stay away. Additionally, most/all of the dining chairs had ripped leather which you wouldn't expect for the price tag of this home.
