We made last minute reservation to Rex's place and were thankful that he accepted our request. We stayed from 12/29-1/3 at his newly remodeled space. It was a comfortable stay with new appliances and good shower (both rain and hand shower available) in the bathroom. The only issue we found was that the water in the bathroom sink was draining very slowly. Hopefully, this is a quick fix.
We were a family of 4 (2 kids included) that stayed. We also had a friend stay with us a couple nights that Rex was kind enough to accommodate upon our request.
The 2 bedrooms have comfortable beds, pillows and comforters. Our friend slept on the couch bed which is not super comfortable but ok for a couple nights.
The house has centralized heat/AC. It was a bit tricky to figure out the heat settings and we messaged Rex upon check-in. He walked us through on how to set it. For the future, it might be a good idea to include instructions so guests don't have to try to figure it out after a long day of travel or disturb the host late in the evening.

Bath towels were provided but hand towels in the bathroom were missing. Pls include in the future.
There was a soap dispenser in the bathroom which gives the place a non-homely feeling. Same with the paper towel dispenser in the kitchen - this was the plastic one you see in public bathrooms. It's a bit of a pain to dispense the towels when you quickly need one. For us with kids, it seemed a bit of a chore and we would have preferred to just have paper towel rolls which we bought eventually. If the host wants to make this more homely, it would be good to replace the plastic dispensers of paper and hand wash soap (bathroom) and also decorate the place a bit.
The above are nice to haves. We were fine with it and it was not a showstopper for us.
It would also help to stock the kitchen with some extra silverware (there were only 4 spoons and we were scrambling to wash it each time)
The most important thing we recommend be updated is related to privacy. The place has a lovely kitchen with a big window that opens to the street but has blinds. So we were able to close it out in the evening. There is also a smaller kitchen on the side window which doesn't have any blinds. When we were in the kitchen after dark and had the lights on, everyone from outside could look into the kitchen. We like our privacy and prefer that this would not have been the case. I had messaged Rex about it and he mentioned that the fence outside was intended to provide the privacy but the fence is not tall enough. The small kitchen window could use a curtain or some kind of blinds. I hope Rex will consider adding curtains or blinds to this small window.
Overall, we had a great time !! Lot of good memories made ! Thanks Rex
