This property was on an end unit with a beautiful, large open grassy area and a babbling brook in the back where the dogs could play, and we saw deer a few times. It also had a walking path just past the brook/creek. The house was large and roomy with lots of seating and areas to spread out. Super close to Vons and restaurants and the Athletic Club which was available to us. The kitchen was big, had all the plates, pots/pans and utensils needed as well as some pantry items like oil, salt, pepper, etc. The balcony bbq was great for some home cooking, after a good cleaning. The washer/dryer would be nice for long stays. There was no Keurig, which had been mentioned on the rental site so we had brought pods, but obviously couldn't use them, but there was a coffee pot and filters and a complementary serving of coffee. It said there was no hair dryer, so I brought mine, but there was one in the master bath. There were dog bowls in the kitchen. Check out/check In was easy.
Things helpful to know: There is no air conditioning (which is normal cause Mammoth is usually pretty mild, but it was pretty hot our week in July) so some floor fans would have been helpful, especially since we couldn't open most of the windows. Most of the crank windows and the screens were broken, one window wouldn't close at all, the others wouldn't open, which hampered air flow. The sliding doors were life savers for some air flow. The front bedroom was very hot. The carpet isn't the cleanest and has some stains, but it is a high traffic rental and pet friendly, so it wasn't surprising.
Helpful changes/recommendations:
A good carpet cleaning (since we paid extra for pets I'd expect it should be used for a more thorough carpet cleaning); fix the windows/screens; a few portable fans; a Keurig; some chairs for the back porch/grassy yard - it'd be nice to sit and read, enjoy the views, and watch the dogs play; better/more lighting in the living room; lights don't work for the loft ceiling fan.
All in all, it was an enjoyable stay and comfortable for us, our adult children, and dogs. I would definitely recommend this condo and would rent here again.
