My husband and I typically choose houses to rent so our dog can enjoy a yard to play and potty in, and this property showed several great pictures of not only a yard, but also patio, play set, grill and fire pit. With not a lot of dog friendly options in the area, we thought the extra money for this rental was well worth it. When we arrived, we had to meet with the owner for check in. While he was friendly, it would have been much preferred to just get the key code and not have the hassle of meeting in person. I think he sets it up that way to basically let you know that he lives downstairs and to also let the guests know they really aren’t welcome to use the backyard at all. He offered we could text to ask permission to use it, but warned his dogs are always out there and aren’t very friendly. So we chose not to bother since he made us feel uncomfortable about it. The actual space was okay and the neighborhood was nice but we would have much preferred to spend half the amount and just rent an apartment since that’s basically all it was.
