The check in process was easy, except I had to hunt to where they kept the lockbox. Upon entering the home, you knew it was old and not updated. The appliances looked as if they were purchased in a swap meet, and the furniture in a second hand store. One bedroom mattress felt as if though it were cement. Also, online they bragged about having “a lot” of coffee, but yet the coffee maker did work. The host very kindly replaced it. We also had to ask them to send over a broom, so that we could clean up after ourselves. To make matters worse, the home was diagonal to a tire shop that opened at 7:00 a.m. and started playing their music to almost full volume. I would not recommend this home to anyone who desires a comfortable, quiet stay.
