With all the wonderful reviews, we honestly expected a lot. While Brian seems like a very nice guy, we were truthfully a bit disappointed.
The house was not as clean as it should have been, especially with the current COVID situation. Nothing that some cleaning products couldn’t take care of, but accommodations should not be dirty when guests arrive. The location of the house is convenient to tons of shops and restaurants, but we found the immediate surrounding area to be less than desirable. The cooling system (Nest) works wonderfully, and despite the summer heat, the house remained nice and cool. The living room was great - open with comfortable seating, and a nice large tv.
Our biggest issue with the house, was with the 2 wasp nests under the deck. I alerted Brian to the presence of the nests immediately, and while he did respond right away, nothing was done to remove them for the duration of our 10-day stay. This put a huge damper on my husband’s time at the house. We were unable to use the bbq, and fully make use of the deck, for fear that the vibrations would anger the nasty insects (which I happen to be allergic to). Brian acknowledged that a few of the people he had called to remove the nest were unavailable, but we do feel that this was an issue that should have been taken care of by someone, immediately.
