Review Score:   4
Summary: I would write a lengthier review, but I'm only allowed to use 1500 characters. For those of you considering renting this home, be aware of several issues. The tiles in the doorway leading to the TV room are loose and some of them are raised, making them a hazard for young kids running around. When we arrived, there was a load of mildewed towels in the washer, a fake fingernail was found on the ground in the game room, and remnants of food were caked on "clean" dishes. Some of the pots had grease/slime on the bottom. We had to buy our own clothing detergent because there was only enough for one load. Most notably, the kitchen oven, which was about 26 years old, barely worked on night one, and stopped working entirely by day three. We had planned to cook all our meals, so we brought a ton of food. Without a working oven, much of the food went to waste, and we were forced to spend money at restaurants for our meals (for nine people). I contacted the host, Lucas, and asked for a partial refund (he did not offer one, even after I explained all of the issues). In the weeks that followed, I had to hound him, repeatedly asking for a decision about a refund. He finally (today) agreed to refund $100. That doesn't even cover the cost of one meal for 9 people. It's insulting. If you choose to stay at this house, with this host, you have been fairly warned. I would look elsewhere if I was you.
