We stayed at this house for two weeks while we had some home renovations done. Alex was a pleasure to deal with from the start and was very responsive and accommodating - letting us move in early in the day and even ordered extra hangers for us from Amazon. The house is very large, spotlessly clean and pretty comfortable but there are a few things that you should be aware of. These are simply facts of the home and they may, or may not, be an issue for you but you should know so you can make an informed decision.
First...right next to the house is a major construction site. Looks like an apartment building is going up and the loud noise starts at 7am Monday - Friday and goes throughout the day. Not sure how long it will last so, if this is an issue, you should inquire about the status of the construction.
Second...you do not have access to the whole house in two ways. First, there is a tenant in the basement. This is the owner's nanny and her husband as well as a dog. They are not loud or bothersome in anyway, but they are there and you do not have access to the basement. And, second, about 80% of the cupboards, closets and drawers in the house are locked, presumably with the owner's personal items. This leaves very little room for a guest's clothes, toiletries, food, etc. For example, in the master bedroom, there is a nice size closet and one small 3 drawer dresser. In the second bedroom, just a two drawer dresser, the closet is locked. Third and fourth bedrooms have closet access but no other furniture in the room so no drawers at all.
Since it was just two of us, this wasn't a problem, but for a family, it could be an issue. Possibly, you could ask if more space could be freed up, if you think you would need it. Based on my experience with Alex, that would not be a problem.
