House of as clean and nicely put together. Comfortable beds, hot showers! Host were on top of everything
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Our stay was during the excessive heat and humidity of July and the A/c was not on when we arrived. I do wish that the heat and anticipation of our arrival was considered and someone turned the a/c on prior to our arrival. The A/c was not working well our first night and the hosts called an HVAC technician to fix it and door dashed us an extra fan to help move the air. This truly exceeded our expectations. The amount of space for the 5 of us was ample and the renovations to such an old house was nice. However, there are still obvious original areas left untouched which made us somewhat uncomfortable, as well as a lingering musty old smell original to the house. All the window treatments in the main living areas are shear and we felt very exposed at night. The sliding glass door in the living room only has one panel curtain leaving half the window wide open. This became an issue for us while watching TV at night on the couch and having the downstairs tenets come up our stairs to the glass door to plug in the fire pit lights. We were sitting 6 feet away.Lastly, there is an interior door that connects the 2 units which I assume should have been locked, but wasn’t. It was not only unlocked but open and we were able to see into the downstairs unit. Again, we felt very exposed . I get the impression of a good effort and that the owners care but FULL investment lacks and that is what makes guests feel the most comfortable.
