The host was gracious but was out of town. Her mother helped us get settled which was totally fine. A few things:

1. She has a small son who makes a generous amount of noise in the mornings. You can hear him all over the house yelling or thumping around which made it hard to sleep in the mornings. You can hear pretty much everything going on in the house.

2. The neighbors don't pick up after their dogs so there's dog poop everywhere that you have to dodge. Not so easy at night.

3. At certain points, they would run the laundry before we had gotten up so we couldn't take showers because it messed with the hot water

4. There were some other people at the house at one point who apparently didn't know we were staying there. They were babysitters (I think). We weren't told they would be there and they were shocked to see us as well.

5. There's a lot of outside noise in the morning including airplanes and 18 wheelers. If you're a light sleeper, this ISN'T for you.

6. The bathroom had some issues: shower curtain broke so we had to fix that. The towel rod was coming out of the wall and the toilet is SMALL. It was almost like a child's toilet.

Overall it was a nice place but needed some work. It felt like the house was currently undergoing renovations which was fine in most regards. I think the biggest thing was not knowing that she had a young son who made a lot of noise.
