Fantastic location📍, beautifully decorated as pictured 🖼️, perfect size for a family/group vacation! There's plenty of sunlight 🌞, water pressure great 🚿, kitchen appliances new ✨, we were BEYOND satisfied when we first walked in. The host even provided slippers. It's keyless access, so no fiddling with locks, or keeping track of keys 🔑.
The host took a few hours to reply the day of check in⌛, and check out requires us to wash the towels and dishes 📋. Not unusual, but the cleaning fee isn't cheap, and even with guests doing this, check in is late and check out early compared to hotels.
Some corners were cut: there's visible wear and tear (ie, the stairway clearly needs to be repainted) 🖌️, the underside of my black throw was dirty (maybe they thought I wouldn't see it since the top was pristine) 🧼, not every bathroom had a trashcan, and some appliances loud (kitchen exhaust, washer, and dryer) 🔊.
👶🏻 Walls are thin. I heard a baby cry on a few mornings. Otherwise wasn't loud. Maybe it was a guest, so others might not have the same experience.
🚶🏻‍♀️Note: the thermostat and one room is on the third floor, which is a climb if you're forgetful or have mobility challenges.
Bottom line, lots of room for improvement, but did I enjoy my stay? Yes. 💯 Would I recommend to friends or stay again? Heck yes. 😊
