Overall - a nice little getaway from the heat of Scottsdale. Nohelani was very kind in the booking process, and the charm of the place is easily felt.
BENEFITS:
*Location
* Porch swing
*Many books
* The trail and just being in nature
* The interior of the home was very clean (for the most part)
* Master was very large and the bed was very comfortable. The pillows had support and weren't floppy.
* The owner has many games, puzzles, books, the pool table, the big screen tv's.
DRAWBACKS:
* Whoever cleaned did the inside well, except for windows. Kitchen ceiling had ton of gnats seemingly glued to the inner can of light above stove. Oil on ceiling...?
* The outside area out back had trash littered around, as though the wind caught stuff and put it everywhere. Beer can, foil, plates, etc. We picked up a lot.
* Firepit had tons of ashes in it, along with unburnt trash.
* There's a small home 10 steps away from the property to the right side of the house (no people there).
*There are curtains on only the front part of the home. Nothing on the sides of the home OR back at all (where a major trail is and people could see into the home at night!)
*No A/C. My fault for not asking owner- but there is a Nest with only heat/fan mode. It was pretty darn hot upstairs (84 degrees during day despite open night air).
*MANY Spiderwebs outside.
*Back porch a bit unsafe. My husband moved a chair and the leg fell thru.
* Cream carpet upstairs.
Still a fun trip...just things to work on.
