The hosts: they were amazing with communication, and responding quickly to any questions or concerns. Even coming in to help while we having trouble with the remote to the tv.
The house: the house is beautiful and the pool area was great. And for the most part the house is advertised accurately.
There is a guest house in the back that is going to be gorgeous once they are done renovating. We knew there would be workers working in the guest house, they didn’t bother us too much. Corrie even made them pack up and leave, the moment I reached out to her to inform her they were climbing on the roof of the main house next to the window where my son and I were sleeping early in the morning. She was apologetic and sent us cookies and ice cream.
The area: the house is located in the middle of the city close to everything you would need and want. The only downside to that is there is a homeless camp around the block and many are walking the streets, we had a few try to get our attention during the stay, but they didn’t really bother us.
Cleanliness: the house was not a complete mess, but i expressed to the hosts that some things were left undone. And that they house needed a deep clean ... it was very dusty in places, we found several hairs in a few of the beds and the kitchen was not up to par, but I don’t blame that on the host completely, Especially since I believe they don’t actually go look through the house before and after the guests check out (every single time). But i believe that going there to check on occasion to make sure your staff is properly cleaning and completing things. I was most disappointed in the kitchen area we had to re wash dishes, and clean the microwave. The host did offer to allow the cleaning ladies to return to complete the clean, but we were trying to social distance as much as possible so we didn’t want extra people in the house, especially since they already had to come come back to finish laundry , and they weren’t wearing masks!
Overall the host was great and the place was nice, and I’m sure they will take in consideration the suggestions I had during the stay. She accepted them well and our trip was great!
