This is an honest review of MY experience and that of my guests.
Pros:
- responsive host via text/call, communicated at a timely manner
- easy check-in and check-out
- quiet and safe neighborhood
- was able to accomodate an 1hr early check in
- was able to address an emergency issue quickly.
Cons;
- This place has stiff steps coming up especially if you will be staying upstairs were the 2 bedrooms are. Also it can get dark at night and you have to reach the end of the stairs before you can turn on the lights. This was a fall risk especially when you have an elderly with you.
- The bathroom needed a deep clean. the bathtub walls had clumps of hairs. This was appalling! like it was never cleaned from previous guests.
- Once we arrived and opened one of the rooms upstairs and there was a strong odor. The host claimed the sheets might have been "damped" causing the odor. But I think it came from the rugs. The rugs looked very old and dirty! If you have asthma, I will suggest bringing an Air filter. As I felt clogged up each night.
- It rained heavily our 2nd night and water sipped from the kitchen window into the kitchen and one of the rooms. The window was closed and never touched. However, the window seal needs to be fixed..as I believe this has happened before..with the smell of the rugs coming from the rooms.
- For three guests booked we were only given 2 towels. Even when I asked for more towels (which he brought initially) he took ALL of them back after he saw we only used 1 towel on the floor when it flooded. Then came back with Just ONE! to replace the one used on the floor. Like how bad are you miserly with TOWELS!! even the towels all had make up stains!
- Just overall not an all round clean place. If things like these don't bother you. Then this is the place for you.
