First and foremost, this amazing house was decorated quite beautifully and the red rock views from the back patio GORGEOUS. We three guest were pleased with its general accommodations. However, we discovered a couple of shortcomings.
First, it appears the house entry was originally built with a large covered entrance court yard which later was apparently closed in creating an additional entry sitting room. Nice, but its floor level is lower that the original house and so 3 five inch platforms were built as step ups into the main house. However, their over size and awkward placement became trip hazards at times. One had to pay particular attention navigating around the furniture and these platforms. Walking in poor lighting guaranteed a stubbed foot for one guest.
Probably of most concern, there were no fire or CO detectors in the house. The host should consider adding these as a way to say they care about guest safety.
Finally, the cleaning people had not completed their tasks prior to our specified 4PM arrival time. After about 45 minutes, they departed, but not before leaving an extremely STRONG deodorizing smell from a floor mopping solution. It was so strong we had to open doors and retreat to the patio and beautiful red rock skyline for awhile. The latter matter could be considered an unfortunate inconvenience, but the other safety concerns should be addressed.
