Let start by saying, my 3 star rating is because I have an overall neutral feeling about my stay: not positive or negative.
Space: Having the entire place to ourselves uninterrupted is important. At first sight the place was beautiful but as I looked closer I could point out thing's the needed improvement. Immediately stepping into the house, it smelled like cat pee. I am allergic to cats, so having been informed of the presence of an animal would have been appreciated. The couches are old, torn, & uncomfortable. There were dead bugs in the corners and shower area. And the biggest thing, the water did not get hot. I literally ran the kitchen faucet for 30 mins attempting to wash my newborns bottles and the water remained luke warm. The water for showers were the same, just luke warm, but not hot. I texted Max on the sink issue & his solution for this was to heat the water in the tea kettle and use it that way.
Guest access: the key to the house is located in the front entry of the place. I think that's convenient if you're not parking in the back of the house once you arrive. We had a car, therefore we parked at the back of the home, not realizing the key is at the front of the home. Max heard us struggling in the rain to find the key at the back of the house & brought it from the front of the house. Since there are two sets of keys, I think it would help if one set was at the front and one at the back of the house .
Communication: Great, I spoke with Max several times before, during, & after my stay. He inquired if anything was needed and provided additional contact when he realized he was to be unavailable. He even accommodated my request for a crib for my baby that I asked for a few days prior to arrive.
