Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property was amazing. It was very clean and the host went above and beyond by providing amenities. We were greeted with a snack basket, and popsicles, they had both a Keurig and a coffee pot, every kitchen utensil we could ask for (which is rare), they had a lot of towels (also rare), extra toothbrushes, and everything was neat and tidy. This was by far the most thoughtful host I’ve had for VRBO.
