We appreciated the host’s effort to accommodate our group when an unexpected HVAC issue came up at the original property. The alternative home provided plenty of space for our group, and overall, it was clean and more comfortable from a space and cleanliness standpoint than the property we stayed at the previous year.The biggest challenge was the timing of the change. We were already in route when we were notified and asked to move to a different property. Although the replacement home was larger and presented as an upgrade, it was farther from our intended destination, which required us to adjust some of our plans and added additional travel time. We understand that unexpected maintenance issues can happen, and we appreciated the host finding a solution rather than canceling our stay.The neighborhood and surrounding community were pleasant, and we had no issues during our stay. The home comfortably accommodated our group and gave us the room we needed.A couple of areas could use some attention. The mattresses were quite soft and could benefit from replacement or upgrading, and some of the towels did not appear to be as clean as expected. Addressing those items would make a noticeable difference in the guest experience.Overall, we appreciated the host’s willingness to work with us and provide an alternative property on short notice. With a few improvements and, ideally, earlier communication when changes are necessary, this could be a very good option for larger group
