House could be five stars but is a one or two due to management and cleanliness.

The code I was sent did not work and took over an hour to get in the property. We never received our parking passes, but luckily didn't get a ticket. It's almost impossible to get thru to the property owner or manager, even after they said they'd bring parking passes they never showed. It is a beautiful home and an amazing neighborhood. We mopped the floor ourselves and it was still filthy after. Overall it was decently wiped down, but My crawling grandkid was coming up with black hands and knees and my feet would be black from walking to the bathroom. It said it had a playground and a full kitchen. These things didn't exist. Two pans and a blender aren't a full kitchen. There is a coffee maker but no toaster. They leave two trash bags but also ask you to carry all trash to the curb. If you were just looking for someone to stay it is a good place without kids. However, we were looking for a comfort level that didn't happen. We wanted family meals and clean floors to play on

Very welcoming

Really enjoyed our stay. The only issue was there were no parking passes for us to use. But other than that it was a delightful experience and trip.

"Simplify?"

Clean, orderly and as in the magazine, "Simplify" the place has beds, chairs at the tables and bar, fully stocked and wonderful kitchen, and two couches in living are; but no other furniture such as bedside tables, chair at dresser in master, and lamps--easy to fix and become a great house to rent. Front double door side latch missing, so the door was not really secure. Online pictures showed playscape in wonderful backyard, but it had been removed. Lastly, 25% of ceiling, wall, bathroom lights (all shower lights) burned out and no replacement bulbs found. When all fixed and added, I would highly recommend and return.

Some feedback

We enjoyed the house. Very spacious and accommodation were good. There were some things that need to be addressed. More towels, hand/wash clothes spread to every bathroom. Trash cans were very little and no outside trash & need more trash bags for kitchen. Outside lights need to be repaired or changed(front& back) Laundry detergent (small box) Floors need to be mopped. Good steam cleaning. But we had a good time. Even with the rain. Thank you.
