Russ was a responsive host and the listing was well renovated. A couple big negatives for us though. The futon in the main room was inoperable as a couch (mattress too long in bed position so impossible to sit on - slides off frame). This is probably easily fixed.

My least favorite part of the listing - however - was the very strong unpleasant smell. When we entered the listing - there was an incredibly strong lemonish cleaning smell combined with ammonia. We arrived late so opened the doors and windows. The smell did not dissipate throughout the week - except the lemon scent growing weaker and the ammonia scent much stronger.

I'm not sensitive to scents but I found it extremely unpleasant to be in the downstairs of the listing, and only was comfortable upstairs with all the windows open.
