We had a lovely stay and the host was responsive to our inquiries. For the most part, we felt at home, but there were some concerns:
-The bathroom door was out of alignment, so we had to pick up the door each time we entered & closed it. It was a bit of a nuisance for all of us for the few days we stayed.
-We sat on the suede sofa and short white dog hair got on our clothes from all over the sofa. It should have been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. The host was responsive when I reached out on the matter, but though a fresh sofa cover was placed, there was still dog hair on the sofa arms. We didn't sign up for dog hair.
-The shades in the living room and front bedroom need to be replaced. There were 2 shades, where spots appear cut out, which makes for lack of privacy.
-The back bedroom is very cold. Even if you keep the heat on a few hours with the door open to circulate, the draft in that room is strong. Luckily, there were extra blankets.
-The floors felt a bit gritty if walking barefoot, especially the bathroom. We kept our shoes at the door and didn't expect the floor to feel that way.
-The Wifi is not strong for mirroring your cable network. Several times the visual froze while the audio continued to play. It worked fine for Netflix.
-In the front bedroom, the way the bed was facing, vertical to the door, was awkward. If you tried to close the door, you would then block the closet and vice versa. So you had to choose which one you lost access to. We shouldn't have to be shifting the bed to figure out the best mechanics. The Queen-sized bed appears to be too big for the space if considering simultaneous access to the closet & a closed door.
-The dining area seats only 4 rather than 6 that could occupy the space. The shorter wooden chair had the back bars out of alignment & 1 bar missing. You could pick them up out of their sockets. That doesn't make a person feel secure to sit in the chair.
-Some of the linens could be updated like the towels and blankets. They look a bit worn like they have been washed many times.
-Some of the photos could be updated to match the present condition of the home. It would help with consistency and accuracy.
