The home itself is very unique and a fun experience, however the yard was not as maintained as described. The listing made you feel like you would want to walk around the gardens and enjoy the beautiful micro gardens and Koi pond, however the pond was so murky I didn't even see 1 fish. The seating area by the hot tub was too dirty to use. One of the biggest disappointments was there are NO Blinds in part of the upstairs bedroom and the Living Room. The owners home directly faces the living room and this made us uncomfortable to not have any privacy.
It wasn't until after we booked our stay and received the instructions, it stated a "noise curfew" and we were not to have any noise after 9pm due to how close all the neighbors are next to the property. We aren't the Party Type, but we still felt too uncomfortable to even use the hot tub in the evening worried our chatter or laughter would be disruptive.
With some easy maintenance to the gardens, cleaning up the outdoor seating area, and installing blinds in the home, would have helped tremendously. Although this is a very unique and fun home to stay in, there wasn't anything added from the owner that made our stay feel very inviting. Small things like even having a throw blanket, bars of soap for the bathroom, (not used shampoo bottles left) or even coffee grinds in the cupboard would have been appreciated and definitely rated higher.
