Property was clean and the host was very responsive. The dishwasher was not working. Most houses in Truckee do not have air conditioning so heat was not a host or property problem but we were uncomfortable due to heat.

We came to Truckee to hike and explore the area. The beds were so comfortable, so was the deep couch. Both were perfect after a long day outdoors.

No Pets?

Property was adequate for our needs. Although no pets were allowed, there was a distinct odor (urine?) when we entered the property and there were dog bowls on the floor.
