Homeowner Response:
Rosanna, LAUNDRY - After The Steven's suggested we not require guests do the laundry, we change our requirements to have the cleaning staff take care of that chore. It should have been indicated on your "Before You Leave Instructions." I will post the instructions for the next guests to make sure this is clearer. COFFEE - There was a package of coffee in the Refrig door, sorry you missed it. Should you rent again, please know there is coffee in the door. LEAVING THE AREA - If guests need to leave the house early, they might travel a different way, as there are several ways to get to major streets. Thank you for your comments. I hope I have addressed all of your concerns. Take care, Owners - Tom & Kathy

Hi Kathy, house was great no complaints at all we will definitely rent again. I have one suggestion though every vrbo we have done we haven't had to wash sheets and towels. This cuts about 1-2 hours out of the rental day. Now this really comes into play if you have to be out at 11:00 am. Just a thought, perhaps build it into the price. Owner Kathy's Comment: Great suggestions Mr Stevcens. At not extra charge, we will have the cleaning staff take care of soiled towels and linens, only request is to have renters place them in a basket in the laundry room for washing. Thank you for your suggestion.
