The house is in a convenient and nice location, unfortunately it was not cleaned from the last guest when we arrived at 6pm (well after check-in time). Host moved us to another unit that was nice but did not answer our follow up questions about potentially getting some of our expense back for the inconvenience. Also they did not follow up to ensure we were having a good experience in the new house. The house we stayed in was nice, but appeared to be less nice than the original that I reserved.
