Our stay was not a pleasant one; we chose this particular rental because it was listed as having a “super comfy king size memory foam mattress.” It was not. It was as hard as any mattress we’ve ever slept on.
There was some confusion upon checking in as we received different codes for the keypad, then upon entering there was a loud chirping noise which seemed to be coming from the smoke alarm. Upon contacting our host, I was told they had nobody to send and could I take the batteries out. There was a step ladder in the closet, and I did. Later, the CO2 monitor started chirping as well and I was directed by our host to go to the unit next door and look for batteries there. I found some and replace the batteries in the CO2 monitor. This was a bit inconvenient, but not the worst thing that could happen.
It was a cute older house, but not really allergy friendly with the many vintage soft furnishings. The kitchen was not well supplied with cooking implements, but we made it work. Window coverings were an issue as there were none on the front of the house which felt like we had no privacy in the evening and there was a strip of bright light coming through the window in the bedroom which tended to fall right across my face. I was also a bit annoyed because there was only one wash cloth in the bathroom and the knobs on the bathtub were not secured and kept falling off.
The icing on the cake was that halfway through our stay, after being out in the heat all day shopping for antiques and seeing the sights, we came back to rest and clean up to go out for dinner and the water was shut off. As it was already early evening and the water probably wouldn't be turned back on till the following day, we had no choice except to pack up and drive several hours back home without being able to clean up.
Our host did refund a night of our stay, but this was still a very unpleasant experience for us.
