What we wish we'd had in...
... the kitchen: a coffee pot, more than 5 forks, serving dishes, serving utensils, a large bowl for something like popcorn or salads, a large stockpot for cooking large volumes of rice or pasta.
...the bedrooms: top sheets on the beds (they were in the closet), one extra blanket on all our beds (we turned up the heat, but the front bedroom is colder than the back ones).
...the bathrooms: washcloths, soap, conditioner. Either the volume of hot water is limited or the hot water heater is not functioning properly, as those who showered in the evening (two of our party of 6) never got hot water (they did get warmish water but had to run the water forever to get it).
...the living room: assorted band-aids in the first aid kit. The living room is sunken, which means there's a step in three doorways. They're well-marked with reflective tape, but I was specifically looking for a one-level home. The host let us know about it the day before we arrived, but I wish I had known before.
The week before we arrived, the roof was replaced, so there were nails, staples, and metal in the yard. Wear shoes in the yard.
There are large bags of materials next to the driveway that block passenger doors so it is not big enough for two SUVs side-by-side. So cars need to park one behind the other, but it's on a very busy street, so if the front car needs to get out, the rear car needs to drive around the block.
The house is not bad, just come prepared.
