Inez was an exceptional host. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and reached out throughout our stay to check in with us. There was construction on the deck that was loud and she refunded us a night because of it. It was also the holiday season and she left holiday decor for us which was a really sweet touch. As a host, I couldn’t ask for better.
The space itself was just okay. It was older, but the fully stocked kitchen made it worth it for our month long stay. The description says it is an old house and the sound carries- this is very much an understatement. You can hear every footstep, conversation, dogs barking when the owners are out, singing, and music/tv sound rattling the ceiling. I will note that although it was very noisy, the people upstairs were respectful of the time and it was usually quieter by bed time.
The most frustrating aspect of our stay by far was the weed/cigarette smoke that came in through the vents. The listing rules show no smoking so we didn’t anticipate this to be an issue. It was really disappointing. Nearly everyday weed/cigarette smoke drifted in at some point.
Overall, this stay was good in that it had the things we needed to be comfortable for an entire month. The location was good. There were great restaurants and bars within walking distance. We had a car and there was free parking that was easy to find within a short walk. The down side came from the noise and smoke issue. However, Inez is a wonderful host and it is a good value for the price if you aren’t bothered by those two things.
