The backyard and patio were huge and very pet friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. The host was the best! There was an issue with the washer, the next day it was replaced without any interruption on our stay. The neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed our time and would Recommend Our Happy Place to stay.

Disliked: Location
Overall, the home had a lot of potential to be really nice, but it wasn’t as we expected.Once we arrived, we noticed cigarette smell lingering from the moment we walked in, a few light bulbs were burnt out, the guest bathroom shower water pressure was insanely too forcefully and at one point, while the water was turned on to warm up, the hand held faucet came off its mount and literally was spaying water throughout the bathroom! Luckily, I was standing there and able to turn off the water and had to clean up all the water it dispensed and did not using that shower again.
