Nice home
Nice home and very comfortable. In a good location and a fenced backyard for pups to be outside. Good communication with owner. Some negatives: A drawer in the kitchen is broken. The towels have stains in them. No kitchen towel or paper towels and despite the owner saying she/he would bring some that never happened. No coffee filters. There is dust on fans and some cobwebs, etc that the cleaning service needs to address. Otherwise a nice home to stay in.

Excellent host
While there were a couple hiccups between the listing and some cleaning situations, it was an amazing stay with my family. We were in town for our cousins double wedding, American on Friday and Sikh on Saturday. I would feel awful about the ratings, considering the two mishaps we had were not his fault. He was prompt and ready to remedy as soon as he could. Thank you, Aruna!! :) :)
