This house worked out well for our family. The floor plan was open and large. There were 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom downstairs, that were suitable for elderly
great-grandparents. The kitchen had a good flow and lots of counter space. I would suggest taking a couple sharp knives, coffee filters, dish towels, a medium sized frying pan, foil, baggies, cookie sheet, and a sponge.
The t.v. downstairs said netflix no longer available and only worked with our laptop. The owner said he would send someone over to help us with the t.v., but we chose not to. We decided to put a large jigsaw puzzle together. There were no local channels for news or sports games. The t.v. upstairs provided netflix.
The backyard was nicely sized with a pretty lawn for the kids to play and a cement patio with an overhang. A couple of the kids stepped in poop, perhaps from a neighboring cat.
Looks like new furniture and bedding in the bedrooms. Linens in the bathrooms were new. Some of the blankets were full of lint, probably from being new and just washed or washed with towels. There was a large dining room table. It was great for having our family dinner and playing board games.
We appreciated the large garage and being able to park two cars inside. A washer and dryer is available, you need to take laundry soap.
The owner was very kind and allowed use to access the property a little early, really helped us avoid driving in the commute traffic over the Altamont.
One night we had 8 people spending the night. It was perfectly sized for that. The other nights we had 3 only people and of course didn't need that much space, but still enjoyed the home. We had different family members stop over for Christmas gift exchange. The agency tried to phone me to notify me that no guests are allowed. Their calls came in as spam so I did not answer the first two calls. The owner, who must be the one who monitors the 3 cameras at the house, sent a text. I got that right away and then I spoke to the agency. They asked us to escort people out. The great grandparents may have left by then, the others gathered up their children and left after dessert.
All in all, the neighborhood was quiet, the house floor plan was perfect for a large family, close to the supermarket, the owner was helpful, there are some improvements, like new window coverings, and additions needed, but I would recommend it to other families.
