Our stay in Kala was not enjoyable. The rental is not currently maintained to the advertised standard, and seemingly small details were quite frustrating - Inside: the couch is ratty, the whole place needs more thorough cleaning, screens were broken, curtain rods fall down, etc. Outside: the yard was not maintained, the deck and outside furniture was quite dirty. On arrival I spent a substantial amount of time cleaning so we could feel a bit more comfortable. A few items just need to be replaced. Mike is aware that his place isn't currently up to par and we found it frustrating that he rented it to us knowing its condition. The neighbors are quite noisy. Additionally there was construction next door, and Mike also had three loads of soil dumped in the back yard during our stay. Communication was lacking. With some minor effort Mike could have the place back in good condition but given our experience, and preference for quiet surroundings, we will not be returning.
