In March, I rented Jason's house for my family (11 in total) to stay in order to celebrate my Dad's 77th bday. Below are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- Super spacious and clean house. We had 11 in our family and no one complained about the space
- Jason would respond to questions or concerns in a timely manner
- Beds were comfortable
- Plenty of towels for everyone
- Fussball was a hit with everyone in the family
- Located close to stores and fast food restaurants
Cons:
- There was an issue with the A/C unit downstairs in that it wasn't working. I communicated with Jason that we set it to 70, but it was still reading 77 as the room temperature, even after leaving it on 70 for 3+ hours. We went back and forth a bit as his A/C guy thought we set it at 77. We have a Nest unit at home so we are adept at using a Nest. After sending Jason pictures and videos showing him that we truly are setting it to 70 and it's just not working, he finally had the A/C guy come the next day to fix. The A/C guy had to go to the roof to fix something. Thankfully, it was fixed, but the first night it was very hard to sleep as it got super warm and uncomfortable
- There was no sugar for coffee or cooking oil for cooking eggs. There's definitely an assortment of spices and such, but we had to run out to grab sugar and cooking oil. Pretty much all of the Air bnbs I've stayed in had at least one of those items.
- Too many stairs. Maybe for a younger family this would be okay, but with us bringing my 77 year old parents, they had a hard time going up and down so many sets of stairs. Since they had the master bedroom, they had to go up 3 flights of stairs.
Even with the A/C issue and the lack of sugar and oil, we still had the best time connecting as a family.
