Pros:
- Location: Very close to shopping, dining.- really anything you need is only a 5-10 minute drive. In a safe/clean neighborhood with kids playground and small pond with ducks just down the street.
- Space: Plenty of space in the home for a full family with a nice sized and clean, fenced-in backyard. 1 parking space in the garage, 2 in the driveway, and the side street gives room for plenty more.
- Price: You are essentially paying the same amount for the entire 3 bedroom home as you would for a decent standard hotel room.
- Host: Jonathon was always quick to respond with any questions or issues we had. Very friendly as well.
Cons:
- Smell: I read a previous review that said the cat smell was so bad they were unable to sleep in the master bedroom - the carpet has since been replaced, and it is no where near that bad, but there is still a faint cat smell in the home, especially when you first walk in the door and the master bedroom. We purchased refills and used the plug ins that were already there, and that mostly covered the smell.
- Cleanliness: Overall, the home needed a good cleaning- the walls, baseboards, windows, bathtubs/showers, cabinets and carpets were all somewhat dirty (not filthy, but not clean), and there were a lot of marks/stains in the paint on the walls. There were plenty of cleaning supplies available in the home though, so I took advantage of that and cleaned up the day we checked-in, so our stay was fine after that.
-Internet: The wi-fi was spotty in the evenings. My son tried to watch Netflix at night, and it wouldn't load, even when no one else was using any internet. No problems in the morning or afternoon, though.
Furniture/Supplies: The furniture and supplies were bare bones. The beds reminded me of futon beds - there were real mattresses, but they were on a metal platform with a wood panel over the middle- not the worst, but not the most comfortable bedding. The towels were a mix match of some nice and some not-so-nice towels- there were wash clothes for hand towels, and the bath towels were all different colors, which means they can not be bleached, which for a rental, I think they should have to ensure cleanliness. I chose to go to Walmart and purchase a towel for myself, son and husband, but that was on my own accord. The kitchen needs some more pots/pans/utensils to be able to cook meals.
Coffee Maker: There is no coffee pot or Keurig, only a Tassimo machine, but you can't purchase the pods readily.
