"We had a great stay. The property was EXACTLY as advertised, the check-in/check-out instructions were thorough and easy to follow, and the host was attentive but not intrusive. (By this I mean he reached out via text/phone to make sure we got in ok, that we had everything we needed, and that our check out went smoothly.)The location was very convenient to all the things we wanted to do and see in the Lake Tahoe area. There were many eating and shopping establishments within a 5-10 minute walk...
