The host kept the place very clean/tidy! Pretty much everything we expected to be there was available for use, but we did bring our own dryer sheets/detergent just in case. Karen even left treats /snacks/juice for us, and was willing to check in twice and responded to my questions to make sure we're ok. My folks slept soundly in the bedrooms. If you need to sleep on the pull out bed/couch in the living room, and for whatever reason need the air con to keep running (you could turn it off/the fan down too), and are not a heavy sleeper, I recommend wearing ear plugs. Despite the hosts' warnings, we had very few bugs inside.
