Great house layout and location but not suitable for renters!
Dear Angela,
Your rental process began with a phone conversation in which you haggled for a free night before renting and arriving. Within two hours of your call stating that the house was not up to standards with regards to cleaning, we sent a two-person team to professionally clean the house again. After thanking us we did not hear from you again except for an attempt to secure yet another free night. We have always received high ratings for cleanliness so this rating response was an outlier that was both shocking and disappointing. We are sorry that you were not satisfied but wonder if your rating might have looked differently had your received additional free nights.
Very Nice Home to Stay in

Charming home
