First, a few pros:
1. The host was very responsive and kind
2. She was very kind in making sure there was a pack n play so we didn’t need to bring our own.
3. Convenient if you have a car to Disney parks and airport, as well as down town
4. Owner put up holiday decor
5. Owner offered us a late checkout which was very helpful and appreciated.
Cons:
1. The neighborhood is lacking. No coffee shops, stores or restaurants in the area.
2. I would swear everything was purchased at the dollar store—the towels were see through when wet because they were so thin, the sheets were so thin and cheap that the fitted sheets kept popping off of the beds constantly. Just cheaply outfitted.
3. No extra paper towels, garbage bags, detergent, or toilet paper. I will say that the host did promptly reimburse us for having to purchase these on our own, which was appreciated.
4. Plumbing and appliance issues. The garbage disposal was broken, the sink backed up constantly, the dishwasher backed up and the washer did not spin on the spin cycle. Toilet repeatedly clogged to the point we had to buy a plunger (again the owner reimbursed us).
5. Ac set to permanent hold of 72 degrees which was uncomfortable at night with small kids on hotter days. The owner was responsive but just gave the solution of sending the owners manual (which indicated it need to be changed from the ap by the owner) or opening a window.
6. Dirty—I honestly think it is possible the host is being taken advantage of by their cleaning staff since they seemed so caring and responsive during our stay. The house was dirty…dirt on floors and walls, some dishes not cleaned well, we had to scrub the tub to bathe our kids the first night
