Nice home. Unfortunately, it's my opinion that the owner should not be on Airbnb or other home-sharing sites. The owner's anxiety about renting her home transferred on to us and made for an unpleasant Thanksgiving (and now week after).
Not only did the homeowner preemptively cancel our reservation while I was traveling for work, but we received an extensive DO/DO NOT list upon arrival in all caps lock. Labeling this rental as a "Slick Bungalow" begets far worse than a family weekend with half the guests 40+, using the potato ricer to make mashed potatoes, sleeping in until 11am and playing cards in the evening. In the homeowner's words, "Our learning curve with Airbnb has been a sobering one, and we certainly have had our fair share of disasters with some of our guests."
I am certain we are not those people. And yet.
We are currently being charged for having the person, which my family flew from across the country to visit over Thanksgiving, inside the home, therefore increasing our agreed upon 4p count to 5p. Note: we were below this rental's requested maximum (6 guests) and this guest was mentioned several times over Airbnb messaging. At no point did Eli call to check in/inquire about her, or approach us directly, which is her prerogative, but gives you a sense for what she's after here post-stay.
In sum, while a nice home, I would not recommend this rental. A first in my history with Airbnb.
