We had a two night stay in this cute and rather roomy one floor house that is just as advertised, with three very comfy queen beds in three bedrooms. It’s a house with personality, with lots of nice art work that make it stand out from a lot of the more ordinary holiday rentals you find on Airbnb.
The host John was easy to communicate with, both before and during our stay. A very friendly guy who also gave us great advice on where to go and what to see. As an experienced host he also anticipated every question in instructional messages making sure there were no need for additional questions about how to get in or where to dispose of garbage.
We are three friends travelling together, and rather experienced Airbnb users. I know what I look for in reviews on this site and try to write my own in the same constructive and informative way. All together we had a very nice stay, but there are some minor things that easily can be adjusted to make this place even better, these have also been communicated to John in a private message:
First of all the floors could to with a proper deep clean. The house is old and this means you can’t expect the same cleanliness as from a sterile hotel room, but here the whole house would benefit from a proper spring clean.
Also as there’s no dishwasher and all guests are dependent on previous guests taking care of the dishes properly they tend to get a bit sticky after a while. It would probably be wise to go through all the plates, glasses and utensils and give them all a proper cleaning again.
The house could also do with some more drinking glasses. There were enough for the three of us, but only just.
And a final thing, since it’s a quite roomy house, being able to host up to six people sleeping, the lounge area with the two small two seater sofas felt a little bit cramped and could have been made much more comfy with a larger sofa or more armchairs to seat more people.
This might seem like a negative review, but isn’t meant to be. I only aim for honesty and wanting the next guest to know what to expect.
And on a final note one of my friends, reading this review over my shoulder tells me to include how nice the front porch and garden is, and yes, it’s one of many very nice and sweet things about this house!
