Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The host was great and readily available to answer any questions. Property was clean and comfortable. Outdoor area was nice for our dogs. The listing said it was a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom that slept 6. We were only given access to 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which was okay since it was just the 2 of us but not sure what would’ve happened had we needed the third bedroom and bathroom since that is what we paid for.
