The house was light & bright and in an excellent location, but we would not stay here again.
BEDROOMS
- The beds were HARD. With the exception of one twin bed, they all felt like futons with no give. Terrible.
- No bedside tables. I understand the minimalist design style, but at some point they may want to consider function given that everyone has a cell phone that needs to be charged at night.
KITCHEN
- The "chef's kitchen" was not well-stocked with cooking basics. We did not end up cooking at all on our 10-day stay. The last guest left a review complaining of a lack of pots and pans so the hosts are aware. Whether the usual guest orders out or not, every kitchen should come with basics.
- The coffee maker supplied was small and crappy. No Keurig, no other good options. This is an inexpensive fix.
- Tiny, old microwave. The plates didn't fit in it… another inexpensive fix.
LIVING ROOM
- The living room couch looked cool, but the low back was really uncomfortable (also, backs of pillows were ripped down the seams and stuffing was falling out). I understand it's a style, but might be time to update to have at least one comfortable spot in the house.
- Overall seating in the house; all benches and stools, no backs.
CLEANLINESS
Their cleaners need to do a better job. If they aren’t able to do a complete job due to back-to-back listings, perhaps a preparation time of a day (instead of a few hours) between guests is necessary.
- There were old dishes outside.
- The laundry room was just gross.
- Spiderwebs. Inside of kitchen drawers were gross and there were used band-aids in the living room. Enhanced clean? I think not.
- A mass of clean sheets/towels left in the dryer came with an apology, but I ended up folding a bunch of someone else's sheets and towels.
Overall, the house just needs some maintenance and TLC.
The hosts were professional and responsive.
