Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Super clean and clutter free home with new remodeling. Very cold AC and hot water. Quiet street and neighbors. Kitchen was well stocked and linens were fresh. Host was very responsive. Had a minor issue at check in and they took care of it immediately. Mattresses were so-so but not too bad (typical of short-term rentals in my experience).
