I stayed here for 3 weeks, but I feel as though the place is better suitable for short stays, 3 days or less. The photos aren't updated, as the place is cluttered, hardly any counter space, and not as clean as I would hoped, based on the bio. Since I stayed for 3 weeks, I planned on cooking, but the kitchen wasn't as accessible as I expected. The dogs stay in the kitchen/living room. It started to become frustrating that the dogs would growl and bark at you when walking downstairs, or attempting to enter the kitchen. If James is home, he does a good job of putting the dogs outside, but if nobody is home, then there's no chance of using the kitchen. At most times I wouldn't even bother James to put the dogs outside, as it started to become a hassle for myself. The dogs bark constantly during most mornings, so I couldn't sleep-in on my days off work. There's a cat upstairs, and there has been many times I stepped over poop in the hallway, to walk to and from my bedroom. The room is warm, I slept with the window open and with a fan. There wasn't any space for personal belongings. The bedroom closet is filled with other people's personal clothes and belongings, so I kept my things in my suitcase. There's a small mini-fridge in the room, and James & Marie offered more space in the kitchen's fridge, but again this is only helpful if the kitchen is accessible at any time, without the dogs growling at you. It would be better if the dogs were more trained and welcoming. A few times I heard yelling and arguing amongst the owners, which is fine, but just seems awkward when guests are in the home. Otherwise, the hosts are nice and friendly people.
