I was concerned because I could not see a fire alarm or CO detector. I contacted the host, who did reply but he was unable to tell me exactly where these safety features were located.
The place was extremely clean except for the walls; there were marks and finger prints all over. We could tell the place was newly renovated - there was still some painters tape around the walls. The pots were obviously brand new; none of them had the handles attached. We did not have a screw driver so had to use a butter knife which was not very easy. The railing upstairs are not kid safe, one of the wires came loose easily; it looks very nice but just a heads up if you have little ones. Stairs are also very steep, no issue for us but just in an FYI.
Very basic & minimal kitchen. There is an oven but no dishes to cook items in there; only pots & pans for the stove top. It would have been nice to have more kitchen cloths (only had 2) and toilet paper (2 rolls between 5 guests). There is a brand new coffee maker, but no coffee filters; also no paper towel, dish drying towels, cooking oil, or salt & pepper. There were plenty of garbage bags, but they were all WAY too small for the garbage bin; we ended having to make a makeshift garbage bin in the closet. Make sure to stock up on these items when you grocery shop!!
The “bed” downstairs was not very comfortable at all and my friend found it very cold compared to the rest of the house. She ended up sleeping on the couch beside the fire place, and said it was much more comfortable. Upstairs was nice, beds are simple and basic mattress but I had a great sleep.
I love the location of the house, having it close to the Perimeter was awesome and it was very easy to find. Checkin was very simple. Lots of parking on the street, unfortunately it’s winter and there was tons of snow to climb over at the curb.
