First off, host contact was great. Very responsive to questions and providing clear instructions regarding our stay. House was pretty nice and good for accommodating a large group, especially if family oriented. Kitchen was great for hosting large family meals. Slept 11 very comfortably and plenty of bathrooms and hang out space. Plenty of towels, bedding, and pillows for a large group. Outdoor area was also nice, just too cold to enjoy it in February. Plenty of parking space. The areas for improvement include: 1) more cutlery! Not enough forks, and things like large spoons and spatulas. If you can accommodate up to 17, stock the place accordingly. 2) a pair of potholders would be appreciated. Ovens make things hot 3) some basic cleaning materials! Need to be able to clean up those counters after cooking and eating. 4) Shore up the faucets, cabinets, door locks, and the garage door openers. Lots of things loose in there. 5) Need a new microwave. Its basic function is to heat things up. This one sounds like it works, but comes out same temp as it went in.
