I was skeptical after reading the reviews on this property, but it turned out to be a suitable place for our family to celebrate a Stanford graduation. Upon arrival, the yard was overgrown with weeds and looked nothing like the VRBO pictures. I contacted the property manager, and she had the front yard mowed the next morning. The back yard, according to the lawn person, was going to be expensive to clean up (and it was largely unusable).
The carpets were supposed to have been cleaned prior to our arrival, but they were still pretty stained and need to be replaced or cleaned again. Also, the living room furniture needed to be vacuumed and as we lifted cushions there was a whole mess waiting for us (food, loose change, dirty tissues). In the bathrooms, the cleaners did not remove any of the bath products left by the former renters. The outside of the fridge and dishwasher were dirty as well.
The a/c unit at the back of the house worked, but the front one was not working.
The water problem mentioned in a previous review has been rectified.
The space for our family was adequate, but the home is sparsely furnished. Much of the outdoor furniture is largely unusable and/or broken (needs replacing).
It was comfortable but a bit run down and in need of some TLC.
I think it’s a bit overpriced for the amenities it provides.
