The home is in an up and coming neighbourhood and has a rural feel. There is a small park within walking distance, populated enough to feel safe during daytime hours.
The property is exceptionally clean. Only the washing machine is in need of a deep cleaning. Linens and towels are decent quality. All the appliances we used were in perfect working order. Enjoyed the outdoor BBQ in the nice backyard. Light bulbs over dining table need to be replaced, causing instant headache. House instructions are needed. Most guests will not be familiar with Santa Rosa's waste sorting. Quiet hours are ranging from 9-9, neighbourhood dogs don't always adhere to noise restrictions.
On our four day journey to the property we received the rental rules. Although none of them are outrageous, they should be mentioned on VRBO before payment is made. E-mail Host rules state that a dog is allowed with prior approval. VRBO, on the other hand, clearly states that one dog of any size is allowed, no approval mentioned.
Trying to contact the host via e-mail we received a fail code. Thankfully a phone number was provided which we used to text our arrival time and that we are travelling with our dog. It would be beneficial to find out if there are breed restrictions as we would definitely rent this property again when working in the area.
Thank you for letting us stay in this enjoyable home.
