Want to start off by saying, Peter was a wonderful house attendant. He was attentive, responsive and willing to help me & my family with any request. Something we found strange was that we had to give a $1000 deposit in cash which was not paid via the Airbnb official app. Other than Peter and his hospitality, the house needs improvement.
From the moment you walk in your told, “you can’t sit on that chair it’s over 100years old”, “be careful with the floor it’s government protected and needs to be treated with care”, “be careful with the lamp it’s 150 years old” not exactly a “warm welcome” after a long day of travel. The fact that we couldn’t sit down anywhere or touch anything made our stay feel unwelcome and cold. Additionally the house had many steps and floors with no elevator.
Back to the layout of the house- you walk-in past a couple of stairs and you reach the living area which is spacious. On the first floor you have an office room which is too old to even be in, living space, toilet and kitchen. We had an awful experience with the kitchen. The previous guests hired a chef that cooked a fish that stunk the entire space. The countertops were not clean and the lingering smell of fish made it impossible to be in the kitchen. The smell stayed throughout the entire trip.
The second floor had a master bedroom, bath, a room with a full bed and a massive walk in closet. The third floor had a third bedroom with a full bed, a mini living area with a TV and couch, and a bedroom with full bed. This floor also had a library with a pull out couch that should not be considered an extra room because the mattress is so thin all you felt were the springs.
Overall the stay was pleasant but not worth the price and we found the pictures to be deceiving.
