Seth was super clear and helpful in all of his correspondence. I get the sense that he cares and is kind.
The place itself could use a little TLC. We felt it was less than clean. A bit of dust, clean dishes in the dish drainer (not the worst ever), my sister-in-law found a hair on the bed that kinda creeped her out. My bed didn’t seem like it had been made very neatly-maybe it’s just a guy thing not to make the bed up very neatly-I don’t know. There was visible dust, particularly on the fans and on some of the furniture. As far as bugs, there was one small black spider that startled me as it ran down the dish drainer, I saw some sort of small bug that likes to fly around and likes light, perhaps a tiny moth? No bugs seen in the floors, no indoor spider webs. Overall though, it just didn’t feel sparkling clean, it was more like your friend keeps their house kinda clean and was out of town and let you stay in their kinda clean home-at least that’s how it felt to me. Seth seemed very open to feedback and I imagine he’ll take that to heart and the next guests will see some improvement in those areas.
I’ll add that we both felt the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was nicely updated, the rest of the house felt old and initially I felt there was a slight old house odor, but it didn’t bother me too much. The kitchen wasn’t really setup for full on cooking, but a few essentials were provided. You could probably make spaghetti, fry an egg, cut up an apple, that sort of thing. We could occasionally hear the person upstairs walking around, slight floor creaks, but no real noise complaints or issues with that.
Check in and check out we’re both SUPER easy and didn’t take up extra time. I feel the price was reasonable, while we were both less than confident in the cleanliness-you do get what you pay for and perhaps this level of clean is par for the course for such a reasonably priced rental? Not sure. Just a bit let down. Location was easy to get to, not far off the hwy. Thanks for the stay!
