There's a lot to like about this property--beautiful views in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood, with lots of places for my family of 5 to spread out.
However, the house was in need to a deep clean--lots of dog hair in corners and on the stairs and dust on many surfaces, though the "turnover" cleaning was good. The first night we couldn't get one of the gas burners to turn off and when I contacted Juan about it at about 7pm, he couldn't attend to it until 10:30pm, which was unreasonably late. We figured out how to turn off the gas to the stove altogether so I asked him to come the next day instead but he said that wasn't possible for him so he came at 10:35pm that evening, not really giving us an option, which is certainly not optimal by any means.
There are lots of nice amenities in the house, but spottiness in what's available in the kitchen (no mixing bowls, only 9 forks total, 4 wine glasses, etc.), and the front room really needs a sofa so the view can be enjoyed. There are not 4 full bathrooms as it states in the description. We did appreciate that the only thing required of us to check out was to empty the garbage/recycling. (Note--the garage is up 2 flights of stairs via the backyard and the garbage bins are up there. This was not obvious to us since the garage actually looks like a separate house.)
With just a bit more thoughtfulness to the space, better cleaning and the addition of a property manager to address issues when Juan isn't available, this could be a truly wonderful vacation home.
