Cleanliness: Overall, the house was clean & tidy when we checked in. Minor issues initially were promptly addressed by the owner upon request.or us, such as the master bathroom The house is nicely decorated, roomy, & the beds are super comfortable. There are some basic additions that would make the stay more comfortable; things like adequate lighting in the master bedroom and living area. The decorative bulbs in light fixtures look nice, but don't provide enough lighting, especially on overcast days & at night. We had to relocate a floor lamp from a bedroom to the living area so the room wouldn't be so dark. Charcoal grill is older and could use some attention.
Communication: owners were extremely responsive to all inquiries
Location: When we booked this house, we knew we would need to travel at least 15 minutes to get to most destinations. We were fine with that. What wasn't fine were the neighbor's dogs. Neighbors on both sides of the house appear to have two big dogs who barked relentlessly when we went into the back yard & for other seemingly random reasons throughout the day. They lunged at the fence & snarled at us as they watched us through the fence slats. Occasionally, we could slip into the backyard & the dogs didn't hear us, but most of the time, we put chairs in the front yard to sit so we didn't have to listen to the dogs. We realize this isn't the homeowners problem.
