I don't usually post negative reviews but I think it's important to share the following information for people making a decision based on what's presented in the pictures and description for this place:
- It's definitely not as nice as pictured. It's way more run-down (inside and out).
- It was not "completely sanitized" and did not look or feel clean. There was a super thick layer of dirt on top of the ceiling fan above the bed; a big ball of hair/dirt on the ground in the closet; the door handles were sticky and dirty; there was a small cobweb in the bathroom and the shower curtain was broken and not very clean. The cleanliness issue was concerning for me personally because I was traveling with a non-vaccinated infant and I picked this property because it was advertised as "completely sanitized"
- there are no outlets in the bathroom which made it really hard when it came to hair appliances like a blow dryer
- there is no central AC and it was super hot. There was a window AC unit in the bedroom that worked well in the bedroom but did not cool the rest of the cottage at all. It also made a dripping sound the entire first night.
- the fridge is super small (not a big deal for us but just FYI, it's not a standard fridge)
- we didn't have access to the advertised parking spot because a random car was parked there all four days. The host did try to get it towed but was unsuccessful so he let us park in an area of the lot that was not technically parking but at least gave us parking. The problem was that it was covered in piles of trash and trash bags so in order to park there my husband literally had to move bags of open trash. The host refunded us $100 for the parking issue even without our asking which was appreciated.
- the pros: great location and super professional and responsive host.
- unfortunately, the pros don't outweigh the cons for us and we definitely wouldn't recommend it if you are expecting what you read and see in the posting.
