The place is pretty good overall. Beds are comfortable, there is cable TV, Internet, air conditioners and washer/dryer, which are all big pluses. The bathroom needs towel hooks. Owners provide a lot of games, books and they even have a website with directions to nearby attractions. But the house was a bit dusty when we arrived and there were not enough cleaning supplies to leave it in the same "perfect condition" that the owner expects. Bring your own floor mop, vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies, because the owner will charge you extra cleaning fee for the spills on the kitchen floor.
Here is an example of the things that the owner picked on in the end and charged us extra clelaning fee:
- dirty dishes left in the sink (I left one dish, because we were rushed out)
- spills over most of the stove area. I remember wiping the stove...
- failure to wipe up spills on the kitchen floors (there was no mop in the house)
- chewed gum left on the table and nightstand
- the dryer lint filter was full
- the grille was not cleaned after final use
- a wine glass was broken and spilled wine was left on the floor. Again, there was no mop, but I cleaned the floor as much as I could with paper towels.
- the dresser door had to be repaired (that door must have already been broken, because the dresser was really old).
- burnt teapot. The teapot had a broken whistle, so my husband didn't hear it.
Alltogether the "damage" came to over 100 dollars.
Last year we rented from a different guy, who didn't have cable TV and washer/dryer, but he was very nice and didn't charge us any money for the broken table lamp, not to mention the small nit-picky stuff like chewing gum.
