Flat with good bones but barnacles galore
We were charged $1,292.63 for a three night stay in Mabel’s spacious two-floor apartment. The owner should implement a checklist before renting to occupants. This checklist should include:
Putting children’s toys out of sight
Storing away sneakers and shoes
Leaving empty closet space for guests
Emptying the refrigerator of moldy cheese and other questionable items
Putting a handle on the bathroom door.
We felt like we were intruding on Mabel’s personal space and were reluctant to use the entire flat except for the downstairs living room which was as pictured and quite lovely. The flat is in a great location and could be a real find if some care were given to cleaning the flat before guests arrive. For the price we paid, we could have rented a clean and spacious suite in a luxury hotel. We prefer B&Bs but we like them to be clean and uncluttered.
Tip: This property has two sets of steep stairs and is not suitable for people with mobility issues.
