Mackenzie's place is a gem for those wanting to explore the North shore and avoid the traffic and stop-and-go headache of the city. Her place is beautifully decorated and newly renovated, and we especially enjoyed the beautiful bathroom. Mackenzie is quick to communicate and help solve any issues you may find.
The only reason I docked a star is because the stay was lacking a few amenities that my family, who loves to cook, really wished were there. There were only four sets of everything, there was no propane left for the grill, and there was only one couch in the living room, which we did not all fit on, resulting in one of us pulling up a hard chair to watch movies each evening. The WiFi was slow and garbage disposal was broken, but Mackenzie did let us know about the disposal, and it will likely be fixed soon. We truly believe Mackenzie will be adding to the air bnb over time, as we are some of the first people to stay here.
Lastly, and again, this is no fault of Mackenzie's, but the stay was advertised as quiet, and unfortunately, there were fireworks set off every evening, almost every hour, some being so close that they caused us to scream. We did not know this was going to be happening, and it did cause quite a bit of unrest. Apparently this is a sort of tradition that happens in December, so if you are planning on booking any other time, you are probably fine! The neighbors were unfortunately quite loud and could be heard fighting in the middle of the night sometimes, and I hope this is not a common occurrence.
We messaged Mackenzie about these issues, and I have faith she will correct them. If you are looking for a place to get away from the city with your family, please give her place a shot. I'm sure it will get better and better with time. All in all, we really enjoyed getting to experience more "local living," and especially enjoyed how easy it was to get to the grocery store, and our favorite Greenworld Coffee Farm.
