I’ve rated this airbnb as I have for issues that range from nuisance to safety—but first I’ll start with the positive. It’s hard to find a house with six bedrooms and six baths and especially one that is well located and this house had both. The house had other charms like enough space for our group to gather, drink wine, and talk.
The nuisance issues included aged appliances that were not necessarily clean like the coffee maker, but also included a shower for one of the bedrooms which never reached water temp above tepid (though it held at tepid—i.e. it didn’t get colder).
Moving from nuisance issues to functional issues… some of the aged appliances were broken or non-functioning like the DW top rack that was no longer attached and several electrical outlets.
Moving to issues of safety…the light fixture in the sitting room popped and gave off sparks before going completely dead. Perhaps the worst safety concern was the front steps and walkway, which were encased in ice. There was a plastic container of salt but the salt was minimal and so clumped it couldn’t be used. And really, the steps and walk had clearly not been attended to in so long that a bit of salt was not going to do the trick. One of us did slip and fall on the front steps but mercifully no major injury occurred.
Finally, I was surprised and very unhappy to hear from our host that she had given us a five start rating and she hoped to receive the same. This is NOT how the system is supposed to work!
