Liked: Cleanliness
The house was beautiful & immaculate. Great amenities, more than i could have imagined. Fabulous movie & game rooms. The owner was also very very responsible when we couldn't enter via the secure entry Lock And even sent the neighbors over to help. Much appreciated! The only negative, and this is no reflection on the host, but the front yard was covered in dog feces. Shame on prior occupants for not picking up after their pets.
