We stayed in Sarah’s home for 4 nights with 4 adults and a young child.
It is a large house and with our number we had plenty of room. There are essentially 4 bedrooms- one master upstairs that is gorgeous. I was jealous my in-laws got it. With age comes privilege though! One toddler only room on main floor and two simple accommodations in the basement.
Host is very communicative and will answer any questions you have in a helpful manner.
There is a gorgeous, clean, warmed enough to make it not freezing pool outdoors! We spent a lot of time in it!
The home is owner occupied most times but rented when they are away. This is apparent, as all personal belongings remain in home. This is helpful when you need a piece of string or a Tupperware. However, also means the space does feel lived in. I prefer a very clean environment but did not feel the space met the cleaning standards of a hotel room or a professionally managed AirBnB.
I have suggested a manual for household appliances be provided, as we had some difficulty. For A/C working with owners help- difficulty was I had never seen a machine like that. We were unable to get TV working but we also did not reach out for assistance. I would guess the owner will do this, as they are very helpful. Any trouble we had we could message them about but a manual would be easier.
It is a very safe neighbourhood. On weekends, noise can be heard from traffic, as located on corner of main thoroughfare. Closing windows was helpful.
15 - 25 minutes from downtown, depending on traffic. Lots of local parks and restaurants if you don’t want to go into downtown.
My son loved having buckets and buckets of toys to play with and the owner was kind enough to rent English language books from the library for us!
