Great house but overall value is overpriced
We've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals over the years and own our own vacation home so I typically have three things I rate on, cleanliness, location and value.
In terms of cleanliness it was clean but overall the property is starting to feel worn, the bathroom, kitchen and outside area were clean but the blankets all need a good washing, the casita smells like wet dog and the old windows and trim make it feel worn. Same goes with the hanging bed, pac-man game and basketball game, all were cool but just sort of felt worn and dirty when you touched them.
Location was also ok, it's about 2 miles from downtown which was just far enough away to not be in the "cool" part of Palm Springs, the neighborhood had an up and coming feel to it and I felt weird going for. walk. If I were to do it again I would have chosen a closer location to downtown.
Value; this is where I had to knock a star off. After the nightly rate and fees (including a hefty host fee), the property just isn't worth that much because of the reasons above. I will say though the kitchen is well stocked which is always nice. And the communication was quick even if I received multiple responses and messages saying the same thing from different owners/hosts/property managers.
