Jordan had speedy responses and was available when we needed him. The house is small, but provided enough space for 5 adults, 3 dogs, 1 toddler and a 3 month old.
The location was convenient to many attractions in Dublin (the zoo, water park, Tuttle mall, etc) and was close to the highway. The neighborhood, though, wasn’t the nicest. The house is right across the street from questionable apartments.
The house was fairly clean upon our arrival. However the couch had a lot of dog hair on it from the previous stay, and we didn’t have a vacuum to clean it off, so every time we got up from sitting on it, we had dog hair all over our clothes- pretty gross.
The primary bedroom was cleaned with a very strong cleaner that smelled of chlorine. We tried to air out the room by opening the doors, but the smell never went away the entire time we were there. It also initially burned our eyes if we were in there for too long. This provided a pretty big inconvenience for us, as we had a 3 month old staying in that room with her parents and two dogs and we had set everything up (cages, bassinet, suitcases,etc) and had to completely move rooms once we realized the smell wasn’t going away.
There are three entries/exits in the house (front door, side sliding door, and back door) however the back door was the only convenient place to let the dogs out because it went into the (very) small fenced in backyard. But, the back door is located in the primary bedroom. So if you wanted convenient access to the backyard, you would have to go through the primary bedroom, which we couldn’t do if the guest was sleeping or needing privacy. The side sliding door wouldn’t open.
We like to cook our meals, and the kitchen had some things for our use: pots/pans, utensils, plates, glasses, etc. But there was only one small knife, which made chopping things pretty tough. They provided a roll of paper towels, but no hand towels.
There also weren’t any extra blankets for the common area.
