NOT recommended for families with young children (toddlers and babies) - sorry this is long This listing was well-reviewed, and I contacted Derek four months in advance of my trip this past January. Derek was a responsive host. I was very clear that I had two 1.5-year-old girls (twins). I needed two baby cribs, two high chairs, and I was concerned about their safety, because of the steep stairs (mentioned in many reviews) and requested safety gates. Derek said he would provide 1) two baby cribs, 2) one high chair (we brought one portable one), and that 3) there are doors at the top and bottom of the 1st and 2nd floors, so safety gates are not necessary. Reassured that our three main concerns were going to be met, I booked this listing. We arrived at night after a long flight to a freezing house with two toddlers to find that 1) there were no baby cots/cribs, just portable play yards with one mat and no proper linens (complete with a product warning that said it was NOT a baby crib and should not be used with a mat other than the one provided), 2) no high chair, and 3) the doors at the top and bottom of the steepest, narrowest staircase I have ever seen were sliding doors that any toddler could easily open. Derek come back Keeping my baby girls safe is the only priority. I did not feel they would be safe in this house. We communicate dour concerns to Derek, and he returned to the house a couple of times but did not rectify the three concerns above (he did manage to shove a random mat into the play yard that didn’t come with a proper mat for our babies to sleep in; no linens provided but pointed to a closet full of random blankets). We wanted to leave right away, but it was late and freezing cold outside (and inside – the wall heaters are not sufficient to warm the rooms – Derek’s fix was to strew space heaters blowing at full blast around the house. Again, not particularly safe with two toddlers). We stayed one long night. Neither of our kids could sleep in the play yard. I spent the next day looking for alternative accommodations; it was the first week of January and everything was full. By early evening the day after we checked in, we found last minute (read: expensive) accommodations, and let Derek know that we wanted to leave, because it was unsafe, and he had not provided the items we requested and he said he would provide at the time of the booking. He said (and still claims that) he tried to hard to fix the problems - he did drop off one high chair that was so big it took up half the living room, and he said he had managed to find one crib with a proper mattress and linens. We never saw this crib, so I can’t...
