First of all I don't think Annette is into being a real Airbnb hostess anymore. She didn't reply to my email prior to our arrival regarding questions on how to gain entry and if there was a hot plate we could use. It was apparent that perhaps in the past this was a fun adventure but clearly the place lacks attention. Water damage to the interior, mini blinds that don't open and close, a drafty window that doesn't close properly and leaves piled high to the front door leads me to believe she is not attentive to the guests comfort. The address provided is to the main house. In reality the shorter distance to the "cottage" is off the side street. Had I know this I would have had the shuttle driver drop us there that would have made hauling suitcases for my mom and I up and down and around stairs much easier. At night the house was dark as pitch and poorly lit, and the place looked abandoned and scary. For safety reasons it would have been great to have a light at the gate. We were staying there during the holiday season and a few cheery lights or a wreath would have been a nice touch. One more thing, the old college alumni magazines and New Yorkers dating back to 2002-2004 made no sense at all. Overall the experience could have been much nicer had there been a little more attention put into the obvious. I felt as lonely there as the 5 dogs that were left to fend for themselves all day long in the back yard and laundry room.
