Fresh flowers are a nice touch. That being said, listing as an entire home is not an entirely true statement. The owner and/or her husband stay in the back apartment unit you see in the photos where they can see directly into the house you are occupying. It truly IS their family home as evidenced by the toys, clothing, and food in the house.
There are no window coverings from this lovely open kitchen/dine in/family area to the garden shown in the photo, and there is an adjacent gated street with fairly constant service vehicles running alongside.
Two of the bedrooms are children's rooms, one is an office with a mattress thrown on the floor and signs to not put anything on the desk.
We had no hot water on our second day for showering, as they have the boiler on a timer. Jules responded quickly and instructed me how to access the boiler int he basement and override the timer, then wait 30 minutes to shower.
The living room/TV room windows do not open, and although stating that it is non smoking, the two master bedrooms and living room had a very strong recent odor of cigarette smoking. The owner said recent occupants had left cigarette butts in the bin but she thought they had smoked outside.
Our daughter and her husband live nearby, so we were gathering to prepare for a family wedding the following weekend.
Although the location is near our daughter, we will not book again.
We rent often on Airbnb and have never run into this situation at this price particularly with someone listed as a Superhost.
