On the positive side:
-the rental property was tastefully furnished
-the layout of the house was pleasing
-the view out the living room window was wonderful
-the beds were comfortable.
On the negative side:
-communication with Kim, the owner, was not good. According to the information we received, check in started at 3:00 PM. We arrived at 3 PM and the house was being cleaned. I spoke with Kim and she said the property was not ready because they had had back-to-back renters. I volunteered that we could do grocery shopping while they finished cleaning. When we returned at 4:00 PM, the property was still not ready. I would not have minded if Kim had communicated this to me. As it was, though, we were traveling with my 94-year-old father and we were counting on getting into the property at 3 PM so we could all rest. When we entered the house, the floors were not clean. We both swept and used a vacuum to clean up what looked like crumbs on the floors in the bedrooms and in the kitchen. Also, I reported to Kim that the dishwasher had soap scum all over the inside, there was a nasty smell coming from it, and the lower rack was broken. Also, the smell coming from the disposal in the sink was nasty. These are things they must have noticed while they were cleaning the kitchen. And yet Kim said nothing about it. I contacted Kim using the same texting thread Kim had initiated. She never responded.
