The nightly rate was fair, and communication with the host was smooth. We liked the clean, private pool and relaxing sunroom. The patio seating was pleasant, with a BBQ for outdoor meals. The washer and dryer in the garage were convenient, and the neighborhood was friendly and walkable—great for evening strolls! It is conveniently located near six flags and universal studios , with a lot of restaurants, shopping and parks close by. However, several issues affected our stay. There were only eight bath towels, one hand bath towel, and no kitchen towels. We bought pool towels ourselves, though the host offered reimbursement. A yoga mat shown in the listing was missing. Shower water temperature fluctuated wildly whenever someone used a toilet, sink, or ran laundry, making showering tricky. The kitchen lacked basic items like mixing bowls and had limited cookware. There were no hangers in the closets, and no convenient charging spots—we had to unplug lamps behind the master bed. No mop or dustpan was available, though the host again offered reimbursement. The backyard grass was brown and dry, and a black safety fence (not shown in photos) made the pool area less inviting. Exposed wires near the patio seemed unsafe. A small garage leak and front door issue were resolved after contacting the host.Overall, the home looks nice and the host was responsive, but the many small inconveniences and missing basics reduced the comfort. With a bit more care, it could be an amazing rental.
