It was really hard to cool even though there were extra cooling units set up. Also, the front window off the porch would not lock and made me feel unsafe. The property was just okay. The downstairs felt “dungeony”.

Communication was great, house fit our needs really well, lots of TVs for end-of-day relaxing, and in walking distance of the Zoo, some great bakeries, and a fantastic small sushi place.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very walkable to Dogtown and the Zoo. Short Uber ride to everything downtown. Host was really nice and very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

House was fine. Kitchen is big and worked great for cooking some home meals. House is older but has been renovated. Bathroom door on the first floor does not close all the way. The basement rooms have accordion curtains vs doors. My mom did find a bug crawling on her luggage. Our weekend was record breaking hot and it was nice to have the extra air conditioners in addition to the central air. Basement was freezing though - we closed some vents which helped. Backyard is not great. Lots of overgrown foliage and branches. Outdoor furniture is older and full of cobwebs so not very used. There is a grill but we didn’t use it. There was a deck box full of garbage at the bottom of the backyard stairs which smelled and was covered in flies. Mentioned to Melissa and she was happy I let her know but nothing was done before we left. Overall it served its purpose.
