Liked: Cleanliness
Communication with the host was very good. The shower was amazing and the beds were comfortable. The location was not convenient, especially for game weekends.

Was pet friendly / Host was great and responsive. There was no itinerary to where trash goes or WiFi password and could’ve been more towels / wash clothes. Cleanliness was ok.
