Howard's place is awesome. From the very beginning, his communication on all things was excellent, and I hit him with a number of questions! Check in was a breeze, the house was extremely clean, well-stocked (bagged ice in freezer, coffee, dishes/silverware, towels, etc), and exactly as advertised. There were no surprises and that's sure nice when all the previous reviews had already set the bar high! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the private oasis backyard pool and patio were such a treat for two parents seeking some quiet time while kids were at the grandparents'! Thank you Howard for a truly great and flawless first Airbnb experience.
