Overall our stay was ok but there were some glaring disappointments:
- The outside aesthetic needs a lot of improvement and was not accurate given the pictures posted of the property. It was hard to see how anyone would want to sit outside on the patio the way that it looked and felt. Simply adding a bunch of potted plants, privacy, and nicer patio furniture could go a long way.
- It was roasting hot upstairs but freezing downstairs. We know and saw that there were, indeed, air vents upstairs but they weren’t effective at cooling the upstairs space at ALL, which made it hard to sleep. Provided fans were going all day long but still didn’t provide much help. We recognized that it’s an old structure, but we would’ve picked another property had we known it would make our sleep (especially our toddler’s!) so miserable.
- The pullout couch mattress upstairs was horrendous—dirty looking and impossible for anyone to sleep on because of how flimsy and uncomfortable it was.
- One smaller detail: despite having access to the washer and dryer, there was no soap for the washer and the dryer’s loud squeaks were virtually intolerable when we were both inside the home and trying to dry something at the same time.
While we didn’t reach out for help or assistance with any of these things during our stay, it’s because the majority of them weren’t easily fixable.
One unexpected positive: parking was never a problem!
Overall it’s a cute property inside but very misleading and needs updating in some major ways before it deserves 5 stars.
