Mamie was very nice and friendly. The carriage house is beautiful with a lot of space, TV room living room outdoor garden, kitchen and rooms on the second floor all very pretty. I would recommend people stay here. Having said that there are a few idiosyncrasies about the place of which guests should be aware. Most are easily addressable and I will let Mamie comment if they have been addressed.

1) The front door lock needs to be repaired. Mamie's solution is for guests to use the sliding door which can't lock from the outside so the house is always open. My wife was uncomfortable with that so we used the front door. A relatively small repair job would fix this. Though the house is beautiful but there is low income housing next door so its good to be secure.

2) We went much of the stay without the wifi codes because the ones we were given were out of date. It took multiple calls to address this and Mamie didn't realize that it had been listed as an amenity (not sure if she did the listing herself). Again, easy fix - just write down the codes. Wifi doesn't reach the TV room but works with the TV upstairs if you have an apple tv.

3) The two rooms are not very separate, you need to walk through one to get to the other and the door between them doesn't close. My wife and I had little privacy so I would think of this as a large one bedroom. Again, for a small cost the door can be fixed to provide privacy when closed ( though you still need to go through one room to get to the other).

4) We had no instructions on checking out and there is now way to lock the house from the outside without taking the key ( there is no mail slot). Again, instructions on how to exit would have been helpful since the house has to be left open as mentioned above.

So for these reasons I would probably rent a different place if I need a two bedroom unless this has been fixed. Otherwise the place is great, particularly for the price. The hosts are still new to Airbnb so I am sure this will be addressed. Also, Mamie was nice and was helpful with suggestions. Also had coffee and sugar - a nice touch that many hosts omit.

Thank you!
