8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We enjoyed our stay and the hosts were responsive and friendly. It was decorated nicely and clean. A couple issues with missing or scantly stocked kitchen but they did end up dropping off full set of pots and silverware, iron and ironing board. They appreciated the feedback and took care of things to make sure we were happy. Couple issues with plumbing that they also promptly took care of. I would have liked to see a dresser or closet in the spare room instead of a wire rack and a few shelves. We would rent again as we enjoyed the home and the location just off the South bridge.
