Didnt entirely meet our expectations. The oven would not turn on (so we had to eat soggy fries), there was only one Roku remote for 3 different TVs, and the property was not nearly as clean as the pictures showed. There should have been more towels/handtowels/wash cloths stocked & available to use as well. Communication with host was timely but did not offer much to compensate for the lack of oven feature and inconvenience.
