My family and I stayed here while work was being done on our home. Michael and Anna’s house was very clean when we arrived, and there were plenty of books and games for the kids. There is a nice sun room in the back with desk space I used to work remotely. Their kitchen had the basic tools we needed to be able to cook meals. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.
I was not informed by the host that the light was not working in the master bathroom until after the reservation was confirmed 48 hours after booking. However they did compensate us for our trouble. I found out after our stay that I could have cancelled the booking within 24 hours of confirmation with that information that something in the rental wasn’t working as it should have.
I do want to let you all know that I had a very unpleasant experience with the repairman that came to fix the light. The host did ask if it was okay if he came over during our stay, to which I obliged. I had no idea how unprofessional and intrusive he would be though. The repairman came into the house without knocking or ringing the doorbell and went straight into the master bedroom/bathroom to fix the light, like he knew the place. I went to go get my clothes and toiletries from the master bedroom/bath to take it over to the other bathroom so I could shower. While I was over there, the repairman was up in the attic, which I thought was odd. While I was showering in the other bathroom, I heard the door open. I called out “Who is it?” thinking it was one of my kids coming to bother me. I heard some mumbling I did not recognize, then the door closed. I immediately stopped the shower, got dressed, and asked my husband and kids if they opened the bathroom door. None of them did. I asked the repairman if he needed anything from the other bathroom, and he replied “I don’t speak English.” If you are curious, he might have been European and he seemed to speak English just fine by his response. Why would he open the door to a closed bathroom where it was obvious the light was on and the shower was audibly running?? My husband immediately asked him to leave. Unfortunately that man ruined my stay and because of that incident, we won’t be staying there in the future as my privacy was compromised.
It is very unfortunate because we enjoyed everything else about our stay.
