We enjoyed our stay. Hosts were very responsive

We enjoyed the house and the way each bedroom was set up so nicely. Felt like home. Thanks for the great place to stay!

This is a really cool old house. It is very clean. The host communicates very well. I had no complaints about the house, only a few questions, and the host answered very promptly. One thing to note, the house only has one shower and one tub. This was not a problem for our stay, but could present a challenge for others. There is a second toilet and sink bathroom (water closet) upstairs, which was nice. There is tons of parking. The area is VERY quiet. The locals are all very friendly.

Granted, it is an old house, but the uneven transitions of the floors in several rooms was a significant hazard we had to constantly help my mother negotiate. There was an exceptionally offensive smell in the bathroom area. It smelled (sorry to be explicit) like used feminine hygiene products that had not been properly disposed of. The access code to the house was left at the default setting, not the code that was promised. When I called on that, later in the evening of our arrival, the host granted me access to the system, without a password, to change the code. No instructions for the task were on the accessed site. The net result was that the VERY loud house alarm was triggered. After talking to a less than helpful alarm service responder, the host changed the access code from his own computer! Why could that not have been done earlier?! On the 2nd day of our stay, the refrigerator stopped working. The host did bring over a smaller unit that was sufficient for our perishables and then a new refrigerator the next afternoon. The host also left us with a couple pounds of frozen hamburger for our troubles. The troublesome beginning of our stay unfortunately carried on in our feelings for the remainder of our stay. I was sufficiently unhappy that I did not want to rate the visit, thinking that no review might be less impactful to the host than what I felt like at the time. As I stated in the title, some time and attention could have avoided an unpleasant experience for all.
