The good:
-location is awesome
-house is very spacious and open, great living and dining room.
-host communicates well and answers promptly.
The not-so-good:
-beds are awful, both are 6” spring coil, one is probably 20 years old and like sleeping on a board, the other feels like it was once firm as well but springs have been stretched... seems newer though.
-Parking pad is very steep and small
-Baseboard heaters are open on the top, not safe for children if they must be turned on.
-Bathroom is very small and needs a deep clean, linens are insufficient; we received 4 towels for a family of 4 plus an infant for a 3 day stay. When we asked for more we were told that the infant wasn’t listed on the rental and that one more towel would be dropped off.
-moderate cancellation policy means that if you arrive and find that the beds are impossible to sleep on and you require more than one towel per person you cannot leave early and get your money back. We left the morning after our first night into a three night stay because the beds were so uncomfortable, and it cost us $406 for 14 hours there as host refused to refund both unused nights, he only agreed to refund one night.
-older house, so cupboards and closets are musty, have to keep clothing in suitcase.
-staged as an executive style rental, based on pictures and price point at $200/night, but amenities, cleanliness, and finishes don’t justify the price.
