Firstly, I'd like to say Taylor was an amazing host. He was very responsive to any issues we had and problem solved them as quick as he could. Overall, the home is gorgeous, is situated in a quiet neighborhood and fit our group of 8 adults perfectly.
We did have several hiccups along the way but the biggest concerns were fixed promptly when we brought them up. I just want to be very honest in this review so future guests know what to expect.
Upon arrival to the home the backyard/pool area was completely covered in pigeon poop. It seems when the home is vacant the pigeons likely claim the pool as their giant bird bath. Taylor was notified of the state of the pool and by the end of the day someone came to powerwash the whole area and the pool guy was there to clean the pool the next day.
Something else that is out of Taylor's control is there is a neighbor diagonally behind who was burning what smelled like rubber every other day the entire time we were there.
The pictures are deceiving in that there is only a tv in the master and living room but none of the other 4 bedrooms have one. The couches are comfortable but have a few rips in the seats. There are plenty of towels and blankets but most have permanent stains which are likely from previous guests but they should still be replaced.
The kitchen had most everything we needed to cook in the home and is very large. When we arrived there were hardly any cleaning products, the sink needed to be cleaned and the dishwasher had an extremely foul, egg like odor emitting from it.
We had 8 adults showering daily so the hot water isnt expected to keep up but it would have been nice if the hot water tank was bigger as neither tub could be filled with hot water and it would only last for 1 shower after not using it since the day before. The steam room was great and was just what we needed with the dry air.
We did pay for the pool and hot tub to be heated but it wouldn't seem to get warm. The following week when the pool guy returned we asked him if he could check to see if it was working and he said it had been off. I let Taylor know, which he confirmed with the pool guy and he refunded our money up to the date it was discovered. In hind sight, if I had let Taylor know sooner he would have likely fixed the issue immediately.
Overall, I give Taylor 5 stars as a host and the home 4.5 stars with potential to be 5 stars if these issues are fixed. We would happily stay with Taylor again in the future.
