The owner left some nice touches for us during our stay and very kindly allowed us to enter when we arrived about 20 minutes before check-in. There were some pros and cons to this stay that I'll share below.
Pros --
*Nice rear exterior space and large table for dining outdoors
*Grill with propane available was a big benefit
*Had both a regular coffee maker and a keurig
*Self check-in`
Cons --
*Being told that we would be charged $40,000 if there was any damage whatsoever to the piano, which was a "priceless family heirloom"
*Personal items left throughout the home (personal toiletries in the bathroom, open condiments in the fridge, clothes in the closet). Felt like we invading someone's privacy
*Area -- lots of trash/discarded furniture in yards, etc.
*Felt a little too "pet-friendly" -- urine smell covered by air fresheners, worn sofa
*No seating other than the pet sofa that we wouldn't sit on
*Signs asking us not to use the front door (??!) and only to go through the carport
