Excellent location with the private tennis court being the highlight of our stay. There were several things that needed repair and was brought to the host’s attention. They immediately sent someone to fix the issues and brought us extra towels. We absolutely love the location and cleanliness.The communication was top notch. They had a direct number to text and a person responded very quickly. They even offered grocery stock & delivery(for a fee). My only suggestion to the host is to air the house before guest arrival. Maybe ask the cleaning crew to open all the windows while cleaning. Upon arrival the house smelled stale/old like no one had stayed there in a while. But by second day, the smell was barely noticeable.This is a house we would 100% stay again. The neighborhood is close to everything and felt very safe. Thank you again for the very enjoyable stay.
