A little context for my review: This stay was a holiday get together with families with small children.
The host was very clear about house rules from the description and kept consistent and timely responses throughout the stay. Each bed had its own set of towels for each guest.
I understand that pictures are idealistic views and can be staged so I will keep my review around practical things, not aesthetics. The living room and kitchen looked pretty much the same as the pictures and the dining table was clearly staged for pictures (which is fine). Each bedroom was PACKED with beds and basically nothing else, which was a surprise because it doesn't look at all like the pictures on their ad. Pictures depict "normal" rooms with beds, nightstands and/or dressers but our rooms basically had beds and luggage stands. In pictures there was maybe 1-2 beds in a room but during our stay there were 2-4 beds of varying size. The loft depicted looked like a place to hang out with seating, instead it was another full sized bed awkwardly placed right in front of the stairs.
The cleanliness for the most part was ok. The beddings and towels were fine and the house was "tidy" (things were organized in places). The downstairs bedroom had a huge stain on it and looked clearly worn, definitely would not want a young child walking or crawling around it. I know AirBnBs are not known for their stellar kitchen amenities but I think its worth mentioning because we were on a Thanksgiving trip so cooking was inevitable and houses are advertised with usable kitchens but the pots and pans were in REALLY bad shape. Amenities like this are often feel like an afterthought but these looked like they were only there to check off a box. There were also a few other things that I had to make sure to alert the host about because I did not want to be held responsible for damages.
All in all our stay was fine and Ned is a good host because he was helpful and responsive. However, the set up of the house did not feel accurate to the pictures and there was a lot left to be desired.
