Pros: Can’t beat the price for a house that can house so many people comfortably. There’s a king bed, queen bed, full size top and bottom bunk and lots of couches. The patio is a nice touch. The location is great in terms of being nearby downtown etc. They have a lot of board games available.
Cons: The house is next to a train track and the noisy train seems to run at night. A couple of my grown friends were spooked. The entire house is like that one drawer that’s filled with those odds and ends that you have no idea where to put them. The layout is odd and the furniture is awkwardly large. All the linens and towels were disheveled in the closet. The cleaning fee is as much as the stay, but they make you take off the bedsheets and towels and set it next to the washer before you leave. We had nearly zero amenities - no toothpaste, razors, etc that was listed on the site. There were not even paper towels or napkins in the kitchen. Many kitchen utensils were burned, dishes, cups, cutting boards were dirty in the cabinets, and the pots and pans were near impossible to reach even for a 6-foot-tall man. The smaller bathroom smelled of urine. The house manual has a gazillion rules and potential charges if you use extra towels/linens, have an accidental spill, or leave 30 min later than the checkout time. I was stressed on my vacation with making sure we didn’t break any of these rules. The yard appears neglected. And the host never responded to one of my messages.
TLDR; you get what you pay for. Not a terrible stay especially for a large group, but don’t have high expectations.
