We loved our visit and overall cleanliness was fine, but the kitchen could probably use a really good deep cleaning. The kitchen was well stocked but having a larger garbage can in the kitchen would be good. It's kind of a small item, but I would recommend a new tea kettle for boiling water, the one there is not in good condition.
We had a nice stay and found the house as described. Communication with Mark was excellent though we didn't need to talk to him during our stay as we had no problems. It's quite private and the neighborhood was quiet as well, also it's not far from downtown and whatever you might need. Since the wood stove in the house isn't usable, in very cold weather it would be very hard to heat the house with the electric heat available, although I'm not sure Mark rents the house during the winter. We enjoyed our stay and the one thing that would have made it perfect would have been room service!
