This house is well-located with good parking. The downstairs is pretty homey and nice. However, the stairs up to the second floor are very narrow and steep, with no runners, so they are slippery. The upstairs bedroom is nothing special, and the bathroom is kind of grungy. If you have any mobility problems, there is a claw-foot tub that is very high, and no stool or anything to help with getting in/out. There are no rugs, just rubber mats. It's kind of ... meh. The bedroom and bathroom on the first floor are nicer, but the bathroom is not private.
More important than decor, the house (in winter) is very, very cold. Other guests and I all sat around dressed up in sweaters, hats, gloves and jackets. In the morning, I could see my breath in the upstairs bathroom, which was glacial. There was a small mobile heater in the room, which heated about a 5-foot radius and certainly couldn't be left on all night, so mornings were pretty rough! Climbing into bed at night was like inserting yourself between two sheets of ice. I generally like a colder room, so this was really quite bad.
I was there 5 days, and twice the hot water just switched off in the middle of my shower. Ice-cold water in a freezing bathroom; it was really unpleasant. The first time I was told it was fixed; the second time, I informed the owner and left for a hotel. To his credit, he offered me a refund, but I wish that instead these issues were fixed and I could have just stayed in one place.
When I was there, the owners had a tenant who made me increasingly uncomfortable and whose presence contributed to me leaving. He was visibly intoxicated a few times, and said a lot of inappropriate things - he did not seem to have any sense of personal boundaries. He also played music quite a bit, on a piano and a guitar, singing, and as a result I couldn't really relax downstairs at all, because he was really terrible. I think if the owners are going to have a tenant who is supposed to be taking care of the guests, they should screen that tenant a lot more carefully.
I wish I could give this place a better review. I rarely complain about Airbnb's - only once before, actually, and I've stayed in a many places all over the world. But this was just not ok . When I reserved it, I thought it was a room in a house with the owners; instead, it was more like a boarding house, and a very cold one, at that. The owners should fix the heat, clean it up, make the upstairs bedroom more pleasant, the bathroom cleaner, and advertise the situation more honestly.
