We wanted to visit Yosemite, and stay in comfortable digs (not stay in an old motel or Camp Curry style tent cabin). Alex's place was close to the park, close to town (so we could eat at several nice restaurants and stock at the store), clean and comfortable. Pictures are accurate, no surprises. Kitchen was big, had most everything we needed, and loved the big open feeling of the great room. I liked the firm mattress in the master bedroom.
The place is a little sparse on some comforts of home (nightstands, dresser, bathroom rugs, etc). I didn't realize how wearing it would be to drive 1.25 hours each way to Yosemite Valley, but this is a function of the location not with this property. It was convenient to be in town (coffee, groceries, gas, etc). You don't think about these things until you stay somewhere that has none of these. Small nuisance to have to pay for guest pass at security checkin for development.
Alex was very responsive, even when I had trouble getting message from HomeAway app for entry and checkout instructions. Easy in and out.
I recommend staying, especially if you prefer a quiet place to your self, comfy beds and hot water, convenience of town, and don't mind the drive into the park.
