Pros: the house was super clean, felt safe, and had sufficient hot water/pressure for showers, and the beds were very comfortable. Communication and check-in were fine.
Cons: the house didn't have all the amenities described in the post (missing glassware, out of shower gel/shampoo etc). Ambience was a little weird as far as decor and lighting. The front and backyards are both dirt and weed patches with the occasional cigarette butt - not a place must people would want to spend time. Also, the house has a decibel monitor in the living room that I don't believe was disclosed in the listing, so be aware that the host will know if guests are "partying" or being loud.
Hopefully the owner makes some improvements for the visitor - communication was great, so it could happen.
