We appreciated no requirement for the expense of redundant damage waiver policies or funds tied up with large security deposits. The location was satisfactory, central to our interests, quiet neighborhood. The house was clean (except a few crannies deep cleaning inside cabinet drawers should get to). Regarding “Top of the line furnishings”, the mattresses were high quality–the king beds had sleep number mattresses. The dining chairs, however, were uncomfortable with springs that felt worn out long ago. In the kitchen, there were a lot of cooking pots & pans, but those were typical rental property thrift store quality with scratched finishes. We ended up only using a few of the best. If you do fondue, yes, there’s a lot of gadget equipment, but then no liquid measuring cups. Since the description mentioned “spices”, there was only salt, pepper, & garlic salt. The biggest surprise & disappointment was the lack of access to the laundry in the garage. Maybe I missed that amenity when screening, but next time I will do a screenshot, since there remains doubt I thought that was provided when I made reservations 4 months prior. With a stay of weeks, the inconvenience of going to a laundromat is a factor. If guests are there for a 2-week stay & no washer/dryer, I would recommend a change of sheets be provided. No guest/guide book. The host initiated only minimal & incomplete communications. We sleuthed for the wi-fi password. No guest book, no check-out list to complain about.
