The space was clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed walking on the trails in the area near the river. However, there were dangling wires where two smoke detectors should have been- one in the bedroom and one in the hall. When I contacted the host about this, she said she couldn’t come take care of it that night. The next day she replied that she had smoke detectors but she couldn’t reach the ceiling so they wouldn’t be installed. I feel that this was an unsafe situation and there must be a code against renting a room or house to someone without a smoke detector. The host did not seem overly concerned with the situation.
The other issue with the house was the bed in the master bedroom. My husband and I are far from picky. But there was such a pronounced dip in the middle of the bed that it was almost comical. The mattress was on a platform that was made from two sheets of plywood. So where they met in the middle was the dip. This made for two very uncomfortable nights.
This was our second time to rent an Air B and B. The first time was a great experience. This one not so much, and I question whether we will take the risk again.
