Vivian's home was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had enough plates and utensils to comfortably host 6 people. The coffee and tea was a nice touch. The location is in a quiet but slightly cramped neighborhood that is close to a freeway entrance. The first of my three main complaints would be that the host has two security cameras: one facing the front which we were fine with, but also one that faces the closed off backyard, which feels unnecessary and a bit of a violation of my privacy considering I'm paying for the exclusivity of the entire home. We had a child with us and we didn't want its image in the hands of strangers, so we never used the backyard, which is a shame because the backyard is one of the reasons why we selected Vivian's home over other options. My second complaint is with their Nest Thermostat. It's on a schedule and set to cool to 80 degrees at 3:15AM. I asked the host to turn off the schedule function and she said she did, but it kept reverting back to the schedule function which I can't control from the wall panel; it has to be through the app. Not great. My third complaint isn't really the host's fault, which is that the neighbors park so close to the 1-car driveway that it's difficult to park and drive out. Otherwise, the host was flexible in allowing a dog to stay with us rather last minute, and the pet cleaning fee was reasonable. Some blackout curtains would be nice in the bedrooms, but otherwise the rooms were conducive to good sleep.
