Location:
Wonderful! Safe and walkable to amazing food, shopping, everything. Easy access to just about anywhere you'd like to go in the city.
House:
A fine old home with old home problems. I think it's fairly priced for what you get. I've seen similar beautiful old homes charge double with some upgraded decor and amenities, so just keep your expectations in check.
- Not pristine, but tidy. - Missing cabinet door, grease-stained kettle, dirty patio furniture.
- Not luxurious, but sufficient. - Plenty of towels, soap, essentials.
We had issues with a couple of unusually cold and windy nights that left us uncomfortable. The thermostat read 69 but our phone temps read 52. So we grabbed all the blankets we could find and bunked together in one room.
Pool:
It was too cold to swim (March), but it looked like it could be nice when it is cleaned for the summer.
Host:
Pre-arrival: Quick responses. Kindly accommodating of our 11pm flight arrival, despite check-in ending at 8pm. The only condition was that we be very quiet to not disturb the neighbors.
Post-arrival: We had issues with the uncomfortable temperature which went unresolved. But to be fair, it was St Paddy's weekend in The Irish Channel, so I'm sure he was busy. And in follow-up communications, he said we angered his neighbor with our late arrival. We were silent and even avoided rolling our bags - so just be advised if you come and go past 8pm. He also accused me of lying about some of our temperature issues, so take that interaction as you will.
