Pros: Easy communication with the host, easy check-in and out. Nicely decorated, comfortable beds and selection of different pillows. Reusable freezer blocks to put in your cooler bag, if you have one. Ample ceiling fans and floor fans. AC that cooled one bedroom perfectly. The bedroom at the front of the house wasn't as cool since it was farther away from the AC.
Cons: futon in the living room is uncomfortable to sit on, no dishwasher (but we appreciated the rubber gloves and new sponge to use), coffee maker, pots, pans and cooking utensils in poor shape. Lock on the patio door didn't seem very sturdy.
