The space was great for nine adults, one 12 year old, and five kids under 5 - not a lot to knock over, plenty of room, and we loved having a large table where we could all eat. The place was clean, and the kitchen was fairly well-stocked with plenty of pantry space.
Here are the things I wish I'd known before renting the property:
1. Be prepared for a multi-step check-in and checkout process, both complete with many digital details and the former accompanied by requiring you to send a copy of your driver's license and a phone call to talk through the details they request digitally - yet you still have to fill in the details digitally. This is more annoying than anything, just adding steps to a process you hope is simple but is instead onerous.
2. They warn you there are cameras - but know they are watching. I got multiple reminders to take out the trash; when I replied that we did, I was told they knew because they saw it from the camera.
3. They really need to upgrade all the mattresses and pillows. The mattresses are very hard, and the pillows are extremely thin.
4. The towels smelled like when your teenager stuffs a bunch of his laundry in the washer/dryer and then complains they don't smell good. My guess is that is exactly what happens at this house. The towels smelled not quite washed.
5. The powder room on the main floor is also a part of the second main floor bedroom - so whoever stays in that room has a bunch of people using their bathroom. That isn't so bad except there is a door from the powder room into a shower and from the shower into the bedroom. It can be awkward.
6. Speaking of that room, there isn't a closet or dresser or even hooks to hang towels. You really feel short-changed when you end up there.
