Rajesh was very accommodating to all our requests with super fast responses. There was still an extra room with two bunk beds that wasn’t in use. Pots, pans, utensils, detergent, hand soap, and towels were all provided. The pool was a good size. Quick 100mb WiFi internet speed. House stayed cool around 72 during the day while it was over 100 degrees outside. Very easy to get to the highway and lots of food options around. I would stay again. ##### Tony H.

The property was exactly as listed, it was very spacious !!! It is a very large house so it takes a little time for the AC to cool it down but once it did we couldnt tell it was 98 degrees out!!! The pool was amazing we basically spent the entire weekend in it even after we went to a pool party lol !!! The location was a nice quiet neighborhood so we tried our best to keep it down but no one really bothered us about it. We really enjoyed our stay! ##### Dionna S.

Very spacious and accommodates families with children well. My only concern was cleanliness in the kitchen. The dishwasher had a foul odor when we got there so we avoided opening it during our stay. ##### Ivette C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimloan T. 6 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location The good: location to eateries and shopping, proximity to shopping, large home, large pool, basic kitchen necessities, good internet connection, good neighborhood to go running/walking, owners respond quickly, was a pet friendly place The bad: older, worn home, some pots and pans were scratched up and unusable, aesthetics (missing paint, patched up walls, landscaping), light switches for some rooms don't work so use the lamps, kitchen sink leaning downward. None of these issues made the trip worse for our family, but I could see it as a problem for families expecting a house in tip top shape. ##### Kimloan T. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ---
