We enjoyed our stay overall, and the property was nice and had a lot of potential. The host was also great at communicating and was responsive throughout the process.There were a few things that could be improved. The most significant for our group was a fairly strong cat and cat-litter smell, particularly downstairs and in the garage. Since half of our party is allergic to cats, this was a bit challenging for us and something we would have appreciated knowing about beforehand.A few basic amenities would also have been helpful, such as a toaster and mattress pads (for hygienic reasons). The windows did not have screens, and there were a few minor items, such as towel racks, that could use repair or replacement.There were also several checkout chores to complete in the morning. The chores were clearly listed before booking, so we knew what to expect, but we did feel they were a little excessive, especially considering the 125 cleaning fee.Overall, we had a pleasant stay and appreciated the host’s communication. With a few small improvements, particularly regarding the cat odor, amenities, and checkout expectations, we think this could be an even more comfortable place for future guests.
