This is a very lovely home. Well appointed and comfortable. All of the amenities you could think of are included: eg; netflix, coffee, hot chocolate, tea, seasonings and cleaning stuff. House was a little hot and stuffy but host responded quickly to our request by installing some window fans.
The only negative I have is that the host is not too hospitable. Firstly, I was a little frantic because it was after 2pm and I had not received the check-in code for a 4pm check-in. But it was provided once I reached out. Next, I accidentally rang the doorbell as I was checking in, a gentleman came out of the other door and asked if I rang the bell. I apologized and he turned to walk away. I said are you staying here and he said he’s staying upstairs. I then asked are you a guest, he said I’m the owner. I laughed and said you must be Jurell and gave him a bump. A member of my family said “wow, he did not even welcome us or introduce himself until prompted. When he came to install the window units he did not say good evening and proceeded to enter a closed bedroom without knocking, needless to say my elderly mother scolded him. So he does not have the most pleasant personality…one may say he even borders on rude, but I’d still say he is very responsive and professional nonetheless.
Overall, We had a very comfortable stay.
P.S. if you’re thinking of having an extra guest sleep over a night or two, don’t do it. We were in New York for my daughter’s graduation, who lives in upper Manhattan. We thought it too expensive for a family of six to stay a week in Manhattan so we booked this house. She brought my brother directly to the house from the airport because he came in after 9pm and she knew we wanted to see him because we hadn’t seen each other for a while. They ended up staying the night, about an hour later I received a text from the host that he saw two people come in with suitcases and that he would be invoicing me $1400(i.e. $100/person/night ) for the week. The intention was for my brother to get a hotel or stay with some family members we had in Queens. He checked into a hotel nearby and I paid the 200 penalty for that night- no problem. I am aware that rules are rules and should be enforced; I am, however, just a little leery that someone is watching your coming in and going out.
