The place was mostly clean and neat---there were some stains on the twin bed coverlet by the window, but the coverlet itself was newly laundered, as were all the towels. The house suited the two of us comfortably, but I honestly cannot imagine how two couples would manage. It was a joy to see a clean bath mat (a VRBO first in my experience), enough toilet paper, and even ice cubes in the dorm-room size refrigerator. Plates, knives, utensils, and cookware are all new and quite serviceable. The house is, however, situated on a corner lot where a small road and a major trucking route intersect. All night huge logging trucks (and other trucks having 8-10 wheels) roar along, shaking the whole road. The truck noises are loud and intermittent, unlike the normal hum of traffic on a freeway. While the house is accurately described as being a cottage across from a winery, it is not exactly situated in the country--the streets adjacent to the house look more like suburbia than the country description implies. Nevertheless, the location and its centrality to many local wineries and restaurants cannot be beaten (bring ear plugs or sleeping pills).
