This house looked much better on paper. The rental is only a share of the house, and 2 of the three bedrooms are in the (almost windowless) basement, which we weren’t expecting.
There were a startling number of rules, some told to us beforehand and some that we only found out after we paid.
For example, we weren’t allowed to check in anytime, we had to schedule with an employee in order to go through a 30 minute orientation and training. By the end we were left wondering why someone who wanted the house to be treated like a museum would offer to rent it out. There were way too many rules and too much “you can’t use this room”. We also weren’t allowed to have any guests, which was not advertised and was super disappointing since we were in town to visit family. There was a lock on the thermostat so you can’t control the temperature in any of the rooms.
The house itself suffered from the usual problems of a historic house. Everything creaks, temperature problems, etc. But it really became an issue with the house being shared. The other people came home later than we did, and it was like the walls weren’t even there. We found ourselves whispering our conversations because we knew we could be overheard.
If you’re just looking for a place to sleep and you trust big brother with the thermostat, then this place will work. But if you’re using AirBnB because it’s more homey than a hotel (like us) look elsewhere.
