Check in was last minute and easy. The neighbourhood is very nice and the neighbours were very friendly as well.
The house is a character home so I keep this in mind writing this. When we arrived it was unbearably hot that we almost considered leaving. There was one ceiling fan that did very little. The Windows were hard to open, but even when we could open them there was nothing provided to prop them up.
Another comment touched on this, there is no couch in the living room, only a couple of uncomfortable chairs and some stools. Made it very hard to relax or socialize.
The plumbing is poorly done. The water from the tap was Brown, the toilet had drainage problems and eventually ended up plugging with no plunger in the place. The water pressure was non existent. This is a weird complaint but the tub in there is extremely high. I am 6'3 and the edge of the tub was up over my knee, even I had trouble stepping in and and out, so you can imagine the trouble my girlfriend who is 5'2 had. Great if you want to have a bath I guess but not very practical.
The stairs up to the bedroom can be a bit of a challenge.
The host was great. I booked last minute and late at night. The place does come well stocked with coffee soap etc and a beautiful set of knives. The price is very reasonable in a beautiful neighbour hood. But the place seems unfinished and is a bit uncomfortable in some regards as I mentioned above.
I would defintley like to try some of the hosts other properties but this one wasn't for me.
