Overall the property was as listed. It was definitely a personal home. The cameras in the main living areas did make us feel like we were being watched a little. There also was minimal hot water in all 3 bathrooms - we turned on using the owners instructions but still found the water to be luke warm at best. The dish washer did have dirty dishes in it and the fridge had lots of personal food. Over all it was not an issue but good to keep in mind when booking personal properties.

We enjoyed our stay! The beds were comfortable and the place was clean. The screened-in patio and backyard were highlights for sure; both are so well done and great for adults and kids alike! The large projector TV was a fun bonus too! John was a gracious host that was very responsive and proactively sent us ideas for our family’s time in Charlotte. The house is John’s personal residence and as such has a different feel than most rental homes. His personal affects are throughout the house, which we didn’t let bother us. Another reviewer mentioned the security cameras, which are in the common living room spaces only. We found them understandable; if we were offering our home for short-term rental we’d do the same.

Great accommodations provided by this owner and property. However, some challenges with utilizing the bathroom water in 2 out of 3 bathrooms available. TVs play then automatically turnoff as if on timer. Cameras installed in places made you feel like you're being watched, which made it a little uncomfortable. Neighbors were definitely on point in checking on us to make sure we were not trespassing as we were still on back patio enjoying the fellowship as late as 2, 3 4 am. Not loud just chatty. Overall, great home.
