Enjoyable Stay
The home was overall very nice. It had everything needed for a few nights and was very close to a cut-through path to the Airport Loop hiking trail. I liked that it is away from the busy part of town, but close enough to get there when wanted. There were a couple of downsides that might not bother others, so I didn't deduct stars.
The sheets are cheap microfiber and the pillows were also very cheap and over-used. The washing machine is small, making a pod of detergent too much to rinse out adequately. That and the dryer sheets meant sheets and towels smelled strongly of artificial chemical scents, and the towels smeared water rather than soaking it up. This made getting dressed after a shower laborious, but the bigger issue for me is the chemicals associated with the whole washing process there. I ended up putting my sheets and towels through two wash cycles without any soap, which helped, but used extra water in a way that should be unnecessary. The other issue is that a window in the front bedroom looks out into the car port. It has a bright LED motion sensored light that the blackout shades can't adequately block, so at random times during the night it will come on when someone drives by. I built a wall of pillows to cover both sides of the shades after the first night and that worked wonderfully.
These issues are nothing for some, but are significant enough for me that I'd choose another place to stay on a return trip, though the rest of the house was wonderful.
