We enjoyed the very nice mattresses and the home has a lovely view!Julie is excellent at communicating from the time we first inquired to when we checked out.
Could not have been better! Clean, well appointed, excellent communication and worked to add a night when needed. Everything we needed with comfortable beds, great kitchen. Thank you!
This house is a beautiful place to stay. It’s a beautiful home in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and the backyard is a peaceful oasis with an amazing view. It’s a quick trip to downtown Lafayette for shopping and dining. It’s also a close drive to downtown Walnut Creek. The host was friendly and happy to answer all my questions.
Great Location, but Cleanliness Needs Serious ImprovementWe loved the location as it was perfect for visiting both of my siblings who live in Lafayette. Unfortunately, the property itself had several cleanliness and maintenance issues that made our stay challenging. There was a strong cat urine odor throughout, and many of the basics weren’t properly cleaned or prepared. The towels still had tags on them and clearly hadn’t been washed, and the washer was full of hair and smelled terrible, which made it impossible to do laundry, especially hard with three small children.The coffee maker hadn’t been cleaned, and the king bed didn’t have a mattress cover. These details made us question the overall upkeep of the home.That said, the location was truly amazing, and with some updates and attention to cleanliness, this could be a great place to stay. We would love to return in the future if those improvements were made.

Steven, this is a shocking review as I checked in with you the day after you checked in and you told me the house was fantastic. Obviously, you discovered issues after, but it is hard for me to imagine how cat urine throughout was not obvious when you walked in. I do wish you had reached out to me. I work very hard to provide a nice stay and extended early check in etc. Your issues: yes I had bought new bath towels as I often do. But there were plenty of others to use. Believe it or not, some guests prefer to know that towels are new. The mattress cover was an oversight by the cleaning crew. There is a new one, but of course the bed also had linen, high quality sheets. I note that the house is home to cats and dogs in my posting and I expressly make my home available to pet owners because I know there are few and I appreciate that people like to travel with their pets. Before each stay, I wash all blankets and pet covers. Apologies that the cleaner did not rinse out the washer after. Feedback and reminder appreciated. As for cat urine throughout, I had my cleaner go throughout top to bottom after receiving your review. Yes, there was a cat stain on one of the bookshelves. Grave apologies they did not see it. I wish you would have mentioned it. I would have had cleaners go back. Sometimes with pets, things happen. I feel horrible about missing that. It was my fault about the coffee maker. I had stopped using it myself and remembered to set it out at the last minute. By the way, a new set of guests checked in three days later and love the place. Again, grave apologies. I wish I’d had the opportunity to address them during your stay. But I also understand that you wanted to spend the time with your family.
