Overall the stay was fine.
Plus
(1) the bed was high quality foam and comfortable
(2) house was tastefully decorated as seen in the photos
(3) back yard play gym was good for the kids
(4) good products made available (eg seventh generation dish soap, eco friendly laundry detergent)
Minus
(1) there are three to four doors that have electric locks on them, including the garage. So you aren’t exactly renting the whole house.
And from a security standpoint, I have no idea what is behind those doors. They should have been more transparent about that. It feels like the owner is still there in the house.
(2) I asked for an early check in from four pm to twelve pm, and was charged an extra 80 for that. I’m not sure if that nickel-and-dime charge was really necessary.
(3) the guest policy on the Airbnb listing and their house rules needs updating. No where on the official materials does it say no guests allowed, but when you ask, the new unwritten policy is no guests. This needs to be updated ASAP.
(4) the house overall wasn’t that clean - coffee machine had beans still inside, washer dryer has lint. Some surfaces untidy.
