I gave this place a 2 out of 5 - I could have seen myself giving it a 3 as well, but rounded down. The major issues I had with this place:
- Several things were off / created hassle during my stay - I don't want to go into too much detail here (have shared the full list with the host) - but two examples were the Nest system to control AC not working properly, and an ant problem on the kitchen counter.
- Oldness of the place (personal preference) - I'm someone who STRONGLY prefers modern houses and is super-sensitive to dust / air filtration / musty smells. That said, I have many friend who like older / historical places for whom this may not be an issue
Two things I'll note for benefit as I don't particularly enjoy giving bad ratings. 1) The host company (STR Management) was pretty responsive when I flagged these issues (but that doesn't remove the issues), and 2) I think if the host and owner invest in the suggestions I provided (and maybe bring down the price a bit - value was also a reason I went with a 2 rather than a 3) - this place can command a 5 rating in the future.
