There is good, bad, and downright ugly with this place. I will start with the good.
Good: The place is beautiful. Small but environmentally friendly, clean, and modern. It could use more drawer and storage space, as there are no closets, and it is not conducive to a stay longer than a weekend. It is also not close to many restaurants or shops. But there is a COOP that is a 15-20 min walk if you want to do shopping. 4.5/5 stars
BAD and UGLY: the owner is really nice, but he doesn’t manage the property. He has a property management company. They are a nightmare. I booked the entire place for a 9 day stay. They provided me with one towel! When I inquired about additional towels, they advised because I was a single person, I could only get one towel. If I used other towels, I would be charged an additional cleaning fee. I pushed back and said that they didn’t provide me a discount for renting the house as a single person. And because it accommodates 4 people, I should be given amenities for 4 people. I didn’t want to constantly wash a towel over and over. And I am already paying an enhanced cleaning fee. That is ridiculous!
Also, I asked for the bed and the sofa bed to be available. To which they told me, because I was one person I only needed one bed. I advised that sometimes I like to sleep in front of the tele. But again, why do I need to explain myself? Then they pressed me on how many people were staying - insulting my honesty. It was just me checking in. That was very rude.
In addition, I was provided one rubbish bag (I had to borrow one from my brother). I was provided one full roll of toilet paper. And I was provided a nearly empty roll of paper towels in the kitchen. Perhaps the cleaning staff forgot to refill. But given the towel issue, I thought it was their philosophy. When I inquired about more rubbish bags, they said there “should” be some, but there were none. I just gave up. And I checked out a day early. 0/5 stars
Bottomline: this place is okay for a short stay, but if you are planning to stay longer, I would look elsewhere. And if the owner doesn’t change the property management company, buyer beware.
