It was very cozy and nice stay. It was a place to rest our heads and it served the purpose. Host were fast to reply to any questions and or concerns , that were asked and overall and enjoyable stay. The mall is about 10min drive away, and groceries and restaurants about 5mins.

Welcoming host, a stay away from home due to flood. When backyard is developed it will be even better - I’d suggest a walk out deck from back door for people to sit out and enjoy as apposed to a few two by fours for as steps. Make sure to wash the area rug under couch as debris and dirt can build up . Clean the cleaning tools such as shark vacuum filter and brush roll(nobody wants to see other peoples hair all over) as well as mop bucket . Take extra care with washroom vents as they can build dust quickly. It’s hard to reach so use vacuum attachment. Windows need inside and outside cleaning. Don’t forget to throw the mattress cover in the wash along w the bedding and throws . Provide A bottle of Windex for the people that like to clean as they live in the house would be ideal . Extra garbage bags and dishwasher tabs according to length of stay so you don’t run out. Removing slabs of ice on front steps (snow falls off roof and lands on steps) as apposed to just throwing down salt as it can be difficult for people to walk down steps if it’s a slab of ice. Downstairs neighbours live permanently in the basement suite - a couple and a small child and you can hear them downstairs and coming in/out of their side entrance. Take extra care and make sure those surfaces are shining and you should have no problem keeping your premier host status.

This is a really nice property, however, we had some issues. We never received the check-in information that we were supposed to receive two hours before check-in so we were not able to access the property until we were able to contact the host. Once we contacted him, we were in quite quickly. It was obvious that the floors were not as clean as they should have been as there was some debris on the floors. The biggest issue came when we went to go to bed. The sheets were not clean. They had obviously been slept in so we had to wash the bedding before we could go to bed. I contacted the host the next day and provided him with pictures but I was never provided with a satisfactory response. The other big issue was the garbage. When we arrived the garbage bin outside right beside the garage was overflowing and animals were scattering it around every day. The smell was terrible. I spoke to the host twice about this and was told it was registered with the city but obviously no one put out the bin on garbage day probably for quite some time. No one ever came to take care of the mess. When we realized it was garbage day, we put the bin out even though it was not our garbage. There was enough dinnerware for 8 but there was silverware for only 4 people and no ovenware. Other than these issues our stay was okay.
