(A&B shared with the owner. Rest discovered after message sent) Information is no longer available on here to do so, or I would have shared this with him first. However, this is honest feedback to hopefully give renters' a better stay.
House was nice. A few things that can/should have been easily done to improve the customer experience.
A) Safety: Discovered all windows on ground level were unlocked.
B) Tables on covered patio were dirty and had cigar ashes and wrappers on them and on the floor.
C) Trash can in main bathroom still had trash in it.
D) Question if carpet in bedrooms were cleaned. None had vacuum tracks on them. Also, a membership card from a prior renter found in plain view near the bed. Not sure how it could have been missed by the cleaning person.
E) Backyard area including the patio near the chairs and inside the firepit was covered in overgrown grass, weeds and some bushes. Therefore, we did not go out to that area and other renters probably would not either. Some also growing up through parts of the deck.
Since there was a cleaning fee, items should have been clean and usable when we got there. A credit would be fair.
Lastly, just be prepared that a train comes through and stops around midnight with the horn blaring off and on for about 5-10 minutes. We knew house was near a track but not that a train would be there at that hour.
With proper property upkeep, I would feel it was worth the charged cleaning fee and a higher rating to stay.
