Disliked: Cleanliness
This is such a CUTE Craftsman bungalow. Nice furnishings, clean soft sheets, abundant quality bath linens, kitchen stocked with equipment enough to do nearly all of our cooking for our 4 day stay. Sweet quiet little family neighborhood, walking distance to food co-op. Lots of windows and an a/c that worked well and quietly. Unfortunately, the listing is inaccurate in stating this is a "non-smoking" property. We opened the front door and were hit with a wall of stale smoke odor. I emailed the owner so that he would know the previous renter had smoked. I was pleased and surprised at his prompt response of dropping an ozone generator on the porch that evening for me to use. Sadly, letting the ozone run all the next day while we were out only made a small dent, because as became apparent on the third day the problem lies in the permanent tenant in the basement smoking cigars. Hopefully the listing will be changed to reflect this information so that renters who want a "smoking allowed" property will be able to find this. ( the odor was intense enough that when I unpacked at home, clothes that had stayed in my luggage the entire trip, also need to be cleaned or thrown away. Hopefully my luggage can be saved.)
