However, our experience with the host after checkout was disappointing.We followed the checkout instructions and completed the required cleaning checklist, including additional cleaning. Despite this, we encountered issues after our departure related to the condition of the property.While the listing is marketed as family-friendly, we would not recommend it for families with children due to the potential for post-stay disputes and the tone of the post-checkout communication. ##### Liz S.
