The home was generally as described and met our expectations in terms of layout and location. The pool was enjoyable, although it could have been cleaner during our stay.Prior to check-in, the host was responsive and helpful, which made us feel confident about our reservation. Unfortunately, once we arrived and encountered several issues, communication stopped entirely.When we checked in, there was a trash bag and cleaning supplies left in the kitchen, the dishwasher had not been emptied, dirty linens were still in the laundry area, the tablecloth appeared not to have been changed, and overall the house did not seem to have been properly cleaned before our arrival.We understand that oversights can happen, and we would have been more than willing to work with the host to resolve these issues. However, the lack of response after we reported our concerns was the most disappointing part of our experience. Better communication would have gone a long way toward addressing what otherwise could have been a manageable situation.
