We appreciated a safe clean home and after a few glitches booking were on our way. The ad 'tag line' said '...sleeps 8' no mention of additional cost over 4. We were charged $300 for a 3mo old and 3 yr old that both sleep with their parents - using only the one bed for the family. After contacting the host were told that was the price, but they didn't realize the wording on the ad. The price was adjusted to reflect the additional cost as fee to host, not additional person, but was still $300 over. We chose it because of the pool and playground. We were in town for an event. The day we were able to get home early And no rain..we were locked out. The host said he accidentally put in the wrong date and did remotely open the door - but from arrival to opening was over 20 minutes in the heat with 2 crying children. The home was cosy and what we expected. However there were rules posted on the refrigerator, including no eating in carpeted areas. The entire stairway and upstairs was carpeted - including the secondary TV area, meaning the grandparents either watched Bluey or came downstairs for coffee, etc. We chose never to use the upstairs TV because we normally have popcorn (or similar) while watching TV. Also, no shoes on carpeted areas. So carrying in and out luggage you needed to take on and off shoes - not easy or convenient. These are not big things, just wish they had been conveyed up front. I would have chosen comfort over the playground.
