Hi Jeff, thanks for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - The house was built in 1959 and has been remodeled and refurbished. We strive to provide our guests with a comfortable and cozy home. - When neighborhood traffic is active, it is easily mitigated by closing the windows and turning on the fans and airconditioners. - There are occasional events at the school next door, but traffic is normally not an issue. - As is standard for vacation rentals, guests are asked to complete a few small tasks, like removing their own trash, as part of checkout. The cleaning fee goes to a professional service that sanitizes and prepares the home for each new guest. We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

Hi Amy, we're glad you found the house clean, but sorry you did not have the same five-star experience here as past guests. The homeowners have assured us that the house is in great shape, and they would like to share the following: - The dryer, unfortunately, broke the day before you arrived and we were not able to have it fixed before your stay. A new dryer was installed after you checked out. - The dishwasher works fine. As is explained in the welcome booklet, there is a switch that must be turned on when you wish to use it. - The main TV is a large flatscreen and we have never had any complaints regarding it before. - I purchased this home in January and recently learned that the previous owner had not hired an electrician when remodeling it as they originally claimed. I have contacted a master electrician about rewiring a couple of outlets. I am confident that future guests will continue to find my home clean and comfortable!
