The host was very responsive, helpful, and friendly. The backyard was ideal for having a pet. She had a blast running around out there. Ours was small enough that she could fit under the house and get to the street, but thankfully that only happened a few times. Initially it was really dark at night but the host bought us some lanterns to use. Additional blankets provided when asked. Kitchen could have been better, but it was sufficient with the bare necessities provided. Under the beds it was super dirty and dusty. Kitchen had cockroaches. No central heat or AC and no insulation. There were 2 radiant electric heaters for the bedrooms and electric blankets. The heat comes from an unvented natural gas heater in the living room with no way to move the heat to the remainder of the house. The off-gas from the heater did make us sick after a couple days, but the host provided small electric heaters as an alternative. Also, there is no door between the second bedroom and the kitchen.
