Freeman was a gracious host. For the most part, he was responsive to questions I had about the home and had a wonderful demeanor. The home was absolutely beautiful and HUGE! We were in awe when we walked into the front door. We would definitely stay at the home again if he would have us.
To help Freeman and future clients, I have broken down the pros and cons to the place. I am also hoping Freeman will take some of the criticisms as opportunities to make some small changes to make his client's stays even more enjoyable
Pros
• Large house that easily accommodate 8 - 10
• Beautiful home
• Beautiful rose bushes
• The master bedroom and bath are very spacious
• Kitchen was nice and large with plenty of space to prepare and cook meals.
• The outdoor space was nice and spacious and included a nice size pool (albeit a bit chilly).
• Very close proximity to the airport and BART.
• Lovely quiet neighborhood
• Washer and Dryer in the garage which was a huge plus for our 9 day stay as we needed to wash towels and clothes.
• Very large TV and great sound system in the family room.
Cons
Bathroom
• Guest bath has no shower, only a tub. Guests wanting to shower must use the master bath or maids quarter (small bedroom off family room) shower.
• Insufficient bath towels for the home. We had no towels for the pool and no extra towels for showers and baths. One of the towels had holes and were tattered.
• We ran out of toilet paper and were forced to purchase our own.
Kitchen
• Kitchen was sparsely equipped.
○ The silverware drawer was unorganized.
○ No bakeware to speak of.
○ No spatula for the pans, only a wok spatula.
○ We could not find any sugar for the coffee.
○ We could only find one dish towel
Master Bedroom
• Master Bedroom shades opening to the pool do not open fully and need to be repaired.
Air Conditioning was not working.
