House is nice and large. Furnishings are Ikea and memory foam. Argued with AvantStay because we brought a small, 4x8' trailer for our luggage. They insisted it was not allowed to be parked at house, threatened that it could be towed or we could be fined. They sent their own policy which specifically states that boats and RVs are not allowed, nothing about a small trailer. They insisted trailers weren't permitted to be parked in neighborhood even after I provided 4 photos of houses on the same, short road that had boats and trailers. Very frustrating and stressful. A few outlets didn't work. Pool was dirty upon arrival and was never cleaned despite requesting and being told it would be. Pool table is almost useless, cues were just plastic and didn't work well. Grass was very long upon arrival, that did get fixed upon notifying AvantStay. I'll avoid management companies in the future when booking and look for owners.
