Let me first say Yvonne is a sweet host. The location is great, place is cute, and description was accurate for the most part. I thought the common area, mainly the kitchen, would have been a bit bigger and there’s no master bedroom as there’s no bathroom in a bedroom (which actually worked for our group).
Our biggest issue was the smell. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a smell of mildew and urine. Now, everyone didn’t necessarily smell this but at least 4/8 did. All the windows were opened when we arrived so I’m guessing this was an attempt to air it out. The smell is stronger in the basement. When the toilet was used, it became worse. We saw, what we believed to be the issue. The septic/sewer tank is wrapped up in plastic with red biohazard tape with baking soda and a plug-in next to it...a failed attempt to mask the smell. I’m more concern if it’s a health hazard. Not sure what exactly can be done to fix it, but it’s clearly a bigger issue that the host is aware of and not sure why other reviews haven’t reflected this.
Couple of other callouts...it was 8 of us staying there and the hot water goes FAST! Several people found themselves waiting for warm water to return to take a shower.
And if you are parking, it’s a bit more tricky than we thought. There’s paid parking during certain times, free at others, and certain sides of the street to park on at certain times. It was a bit of a hassle but we made it work. Just want to forewarn others it’s not as easy as you may think to avoid a ticket.
