This was a very nice home, and with some improvements and changes to the listing description, will make a very nice place to stay for many people. Unfortunately, there were a few surprises not mentioned in the listing that drastically affected how we felt about our stay:
1. There is no real, locking door that the guest can close between the hosts and the rental unit. This is no big deal, but is not mentioned in the listing. I would not have chosen this listing as I prefer at least some modicum of privacy.
2. The hosts live (at least part time) downstairs and request you take your shoes off. My feet were cold. There seems to be quite a bit of sound transfer between floors. The apartment did not feel private because of that.
3. General maintenance and outfitting: the thermostat and heat distribution was totally wacky, the toilet ran, the shower has one tolerable setting between scalding and cold, the slightest movement in the bed produced prodigious squeaking and there were not enough warm cozy blankets.
