​We had a decent stay, but it didn't quite live up to a 5-star experience. ​The Pros: The neighborhood was quiet, the host was very responsive, and most of the house was clean. The beds were generally comfortable, and the kids absolutely loved the pool table. The kitchen was well stocked, and cooking was mostly a breeze. ​The Cons: We ran into several maintenance and cleanliness issues. There was sand in one of the beds, mud on the porch from prior guests, and overgrown weeds in the yard. Basic amenities like soap and shampoo ran out after the first day. Additionally, the driveway is very steep, which was difficult for my elderly mother to navigate. The biggest issue, however, was birds living inside the porch wall. They were protective, making it impossible to enjoy the porch, and left a lot of droppings. ​Overall, the house was nice enough, but the recurring small issues kept it from being great. Not the worst, but not the best.
