This was a great little house. Check in and communication with the host were a breeze. The house was very cozy and stylish throughout. Entry from the driveway to the front door is only 3 steps, which was a huge plus for us since my husband has mobility issues. Plenty of space for our family of 4, which included a 13 and 10 year old. We didn’t use the game room as much as we thought we would, but it was nice to have. The backyard was a little difficult to traverse for our senior arthritic dog, but we made it work. The location was a bit noisy. The view from the patio was of two homes (one on each side) and a busyish street. I could hear the neighbors more than I thought I would, one of which had an alarm that went off multiple times throughout the day. Not a super loud alarm, but the frequency was annoying none the less.
This house doesn’t have central AC, which the owner DID mention in the listing, but I missed that detail. There are tower style fans throughout the home to help circulate the air, and 1 box fan. The house cools down fine at night, but during the peak of afternoon it got a bit hot for our taste. I suggested the owner bring in more box fans because they can be used in windows to push out hot air and pull in cold air. The only other suggestion I have is adding some larger coffee mugs. The ones in the home only hold 8 ounces even though the Keurig did up to 12 ounces. As a coffee drinker, I would appreciate a larger mug or two. I was happy we had a dishwasher because we did cook a lot. There is a grocery store approx. 10 mins away, so that was convenient. The laundry was also very helpful. Check out process was easy. All and all we enjoyed our stay.
