We stayed in the carriage house for one month, and honestly were not very happy with the experience. Stan was very nice, but after the first few days of issues he didn't contact us at all. From the get-go, the internet didn't work. We spent the first 5 days without internet, using our own personal hotspots and paying for extra data. Stan 'fixed' the issue by moving an extender to our building. Basically, mooching off the other tenants WiFi and giving us an extremely slow, unreliable (in & out) connection for the rest of our trip. We both work from home and had to use our data at least 1x a day when the connection went out. WiFi should not be listed as an amenity.

Also from day 1, there was constant construction right outside the house. Stan assured us that the construction was 'supposed' to be finished before we arrived and would be completed within a few days. This didn't happen. In fact, the construction was still going on the day we left. Horribly loud, shaking the house, and workers waking us up at 6:30am because the walls are paper-thin. A considerate host would have let us know before we arrived that there is construction going on, especially when it is literally right outside the unit!! Suffice to say, we didn't sleep well (purchased earplugs but they didn't muffle the noise). The noise lasted 12 hours a day, and both of us work from home. So the noise combined with the shoddy internet and lack of sleep made for the worst month of work and general happiness for both of us.

Tons of homeless in the area (right down the street from a homeless center), so we often heard then in the alleys to the side and behind the house, and going through the trash as well. The front door wasn't very secure which made us nervous at night. We had to keep the shutters closed during the day because of the construction and workers looking into the unit so it was quite dark.

The kitchen was nice and stocked with pots/pans/etc. needed for everyday cooking. Gas stove was great. Nice to have a W/D. I will say the photos are very beautiful and make the space look larger then it actually is. The couch is different from in the pictures as well, and not very comfortable. Stan left us with some treats and a bottle of wine.

We were also promised a visit from a maid halfway through our stay. This didn't happen and wasn't mentioned again...until the night before we left. Stand wanted to know when we were leaving the next day so the maid could come clean for the next guests.

Considering the fact that we paid $3,037 for the month to stay here, I felt like we got REALLY ripped off. We expected more and feel really cheated, especially with all the money we spent out of our own pocket for the 'included' amenities.
