While I gave this listing 3/5 stars, this is not to say that I had a horrible experience. In fact, the place itself was lovely. The photographs are completely accurate; I would even say that the space looked better in person! The layout was beautiful and as pictured, the entire space was clean, the amenities were as listed (I was especially happy to see a filter water bottle in the fridge and the heating/AC were great), and the location was very convenient. The bed and couch were decently comfortable, there were plenty of blankets, the TV had Roku, and the private patio was the perfect size for where we did some Korean BBQ.
The reason that I gave 3/5 stars is because while all of these wonderful things are true, upon arrival we (my boyfriend and I) were met with a small gathering of adults and a few kids in the main backyard area (the photographed patio for the Airbnb listing is sufficiently separate). They were not overly rambunctious, but we did hear voices for a while. It was off-putting considering the times we are in. Our main issue was that there was no warning given prior to arrival by the hosts. Secondly, we could hear the kids late into the night, which was uncomfortable. We were hoping to have a bit of a quieter evening. ***The bottom line is: I wouldn't necessarily warn anyone from booking this listing. I believe that on any other evening, it's possible the stay would have been flawless.*** I am intending only to communicate that my personal experience was impacted by what I have described above and did affect the way I viewed the hosts' consideration for their guests. One of the hosts did apologize on our way out the next morning for the noise from the kids, which I appreciated.
