Great location and check in was a breeze. The space was about what we expected, but could use a bit of updating. For the price it was a decent value. David’s communication when booking and the day of check in was excellent.
The only major obstacle was that the bedroom was very cold. Not David’s fault, there don’t appear to be any heating elements in the bedroom. We did use both comforters to stay warm during the night and that worked out well. We’re from northern Vermont so it’s not that we’re not used to the cold, just giving some info to anyone who may be a bit less hardy or traveling with children.
Lastly the morning of check out, David sent me a message at 8am on the dot inquiring when we would be leaving so his cleaning person could plan their work. As check out isn’t supposed to be until noon, we were a bit dismayed by what came across as a nudge to move along despite David’s claim of “no rush”. As I hadn’t been feeling great the evening before, I was a looking forward to sleeping in a bit before catching the noon train back to London. Nope. 8am wake up call from the host. We got up not long after and began to pack and get ready for our departure. Not a deal breaker, but as the space wasn’t the warmest or the coziest overall, a final boot out the door by the host left us feeling that this place isn’t somewhere we’d stay again.
That being said, the location was convenient, it was absolutely grand to have a washer and dryer to catch up on laundry, and there were some fun shops nearby.
