8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Overall the property was good. There was not near enough room for parking for as many people as the home can sleep. I also didn’t realize the downstairs could only be accessed from the outside. The home appears newly renovated and was comfortable.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house listing and photos were exactly how it described and I was not deceived upon arrival. The communication between myself and host was easy with the host responding very quickly. There were a few issues with our stay that we did make note of. The TV downstairs had a Direct TV error code and wasn’t able to watch anything.Towels had holes and were stained.Small Ants in the bedroom and kitchen. Which resulted to the ants getting into the food on the counter and pantry. As well as on beds from traveling through the window in the large bedroom upstairs.Ceiling fan in large bedroom was making a noise and partially working upon arrival then went out during the night on our second night. Had to buy trash bags because there was only one for a 3 night stay. No sheets for the pullout couch’s.The kitchen table upstairs was so sticky that your arms would be sticky after pulling your arm off it. Very limited silverware downstairs(2 spoons & 1 table knife)Grass needed to be mowed since it looked like it hadn’t been mowed in a while.Neighbors dogs and dogs from down the street left poop in the yard. The neighbors to the left were wild with fireworks. They got up on the two story dock and were lighting them off in every direction. My grandparents were sitting down stairs on the bench and fireworks come shooting at them. A couple of us went to the cars to grab stuff and fireworks came raining down and hit one of us. The neighbor left their firework trash out.
