Things we loved:
1. Home was clean and beautifully decorated.
2. When past guests leave toiletries or condiments, they are left for new guests to use if they so choose. We didn’t need any of these items but it was nice to see these items weren’t thrown away, instead allowing the next guest to possibly enjoy.
3. Beds were comfortable.
4. Extra linens and towels were provided.
5. Lots of games available to use.
Things we didn’t love:
1. The area rug in the living room sheds pretty badly. It’s made of some sort of wicker material that pokes through your socks/clothes. We made the mistake of sitting on the rug and ended up full of the shedding. Our socks were full of the shedding as well.
2. Although the listing clearly states the host uses cameras and a ring doorbell to “manage the home”, we didn’t think much of it. Except, within minutes of a guest arriving we received a kind message from the host reminding us that we weren’t allowed to have any guests. Understandably so, we asked our guest to leave immediately. However, the fact that we were being “watched” so closely felt a little intrusive. Luckily the host was nice about it but my family felt incredibly uncomfortable after that encounter.
3. The home is on the corner near a busy street. We had some noise from cars racing at night.
4. The neighborhood this home is located in, isn’t the best. It’s part of a new housing track, which is nice. However, it’s in the middle of a rough part of town.
