Eric was a nice and reasonably accommodating host. He has a nice house that is filled with a lot of unique art and collectibles. However, none of these things made us feel completely relaxed during our two night stay. It's hard to describe, but my wife and I just never felt quite at ease during our stay. The reviews and description describe the house as immaculately clean, but the rugs in our bathroom looked like they had never been washed and our shower had the hair and loofah still in there from a previous guest. The whole taking our shoes off thing wouldn't have bothered us if the floors were completely clean and if the shoes on offer weren't a hodgepodge assortment that also appeared a bit dated and unkempt. All in all not a bad stay by any means, but other people's definitions of clean and "made to feel at home" were not what we encountered.
