There things about this house we enjoyed -- lots of good sleeping areas, big kitchen. The grounds and surroundings were very private and nice. Decent parking. But some major drawbacks, too. Most of them, but not all, relate to cleanliness issues.
- floors in some rooms were so dirty we found a vacuum to clean them ourselves
- grabbed a couple kitchen towels from the drawer only to discover they had large patches of dried, crusted food on them but had been folded as if clean
- washcloths smelled like Axe body wash in such an overpowering way I wondered if they ran out of laundry detergent and used that instead. The alternative is that they weren't really cleaned well, which seems to fit the rest of our experience.
- didn't get automatic check-in instructions; had to send messages to host minutes before our arrival to get the code
- hot tub was filthy and water was cold and murky; we had been looking forward to using this, but were unable to do so
- three separate kitchen cabinets hosted toxic chemicals of various types; didn't want to put food in cabinets with rodent killer, for example, so there was a lot of wasted cabinet space. needs to be consolidated down to one cabinet of chemicals so the others can be utilized for food.
- I found this VRBO because I specifically searched for properties that "allowed parties and events" -- but the "house rules" listed in the home stated "no parties" -- just FYI if this was your intention.
Not all bad, but I won't book again.
