The host was responsive and the communication was great! Which works out because there were no checkin or checkout instructions in the house. The backyard was spacious and good for the dog and kids to run around in. The place was clean but smelled so much of bleach upon checkin. I opened the windows and doors to air the place out, but the smell was shortly replaced with a strong Glade plug-in fragrant. For the price, the house is a bit dated and smaller than expected. The stove top unit was a bit wobbly and probably should be fixed. Not really kid friendly given all the sharp corners on the various tables. There were definitely a few things that could be improved upon, but overall a pleasant stay for a last minute reservation.
