Disclaimer: I was only there for one day.
Communication:
Great! Quick responses and amicable
Location:
Pros:
Close to downtown. Shops, Places to eat (note that I didn't venture much since I was really just passing by)
Easy access to the freeway.
Cons:
The home is located on a major road.
The driveway is so small - However, I am from Los Angeles and maybe just not accustomed to that type of driveway.
Cleanliness
When you walk in the home appears clean on the surface.
Some issues:
I used some of the cookware, and it was a pan that had grease leftover.
Some dishes were dirty. (if you are not cooking then I suppose this is not an issue.)
We took the trash out and at the bottom of the trash was trash! - I did not touch that and just took out the bag.
Linens- They seemed clean, however when my husband showered, there was a long blond hair was attached to the towel, and I am not a blond.
There was a dead bug in the corner of one of the bedrooms- don't know what it was, looked similar to a small roach. But I did not see any anywhere else and I'm not an entomologist. So take it with a grain of salt.
For Pet owners:
There is a yard, however, it is not fenced and that was an issue for me.
There is no grass it is just ground cover and it is a bit tall, so there were tons and I mean tons of mosquitos. (Bring bug repellant)
The dogs are not allowed on the furniture (which is not a big deal), but the place is not that clean so, if that is something you allow your furbaby to do, look elsewhere.
General comments:
The home itself was decorated in this mixture of early 1900 decor (antique-like) which I really liked, but that's a personal thing.
It was not really stocked with general items, so if you forgot something you will likely need to go to the store.
When you walk in there is a musty whiskey smell - I am all for whiskey but this was overpowering.
Overall the place was ok. If you are just passing by sure stay there. However, it is not the place for me or my family. That does not mean it's not the place for you. Certain things are just personal taste.
I am however very grateful for them accommodating the fact that we were traveling with our 3 dogs.
