Overall we enjoyed the stay. The things we liked the most was the area. Even tho it was an unkept street it was full of homes that were valued into the millions. So safety felt generally good in the area. We also liked the natural lighting in the unit and the Google Fiber internet.
Things that need to be addressed were definitely the dryer. You could open the dryer door when it was running and it would not shut off. This is a huge safety hazard for children; if any child went in the dryer while it was on it would be devastating. The only way to shut the dryer off was so turn the dial to “off”. Also, the laundry rooms door was completely off the track so it fell. Again, another safety issue with children. We ended up just getting a baby gate to prevent our son from entering the kitchen all together. What was alarming is that I addressed the door issues and it was known to them that it was off the track. My reservation I stated that I had a 2 year old in tow and this wasn’t fixed or even warned about. Even the dryer issue should have been at least mentioned to us.
The kitchen is sparse with pots and pans. It worked for us but s small size family that may be wanting to do some normal cooking may find that they would need to buy some additional pots/pans.
Our bedspread had blood on it from a former guest. This wasn’t very appealing and could have been avoided by the person making the bed since it was clear as day that blood smears were all on it. Our son stuck his arm under the couch and it came up full of chocolate from previous guest. So more initiative on cleanliness needs to be considered.
The house is old and has creaky floors. Going to the restroom in the middle of the night may wake others up. Just an FYI if you have a light or moderate sleeper.
All and all I did like our stay. Our host was attentive and made it efficient and convenient through the app. I would probably stay here again, but without our son. There’s just some things that need to be fixed to make this a better and safer experience.
I’m not going to leave a bad rating since the overall feel of the house and the area was great. But I just want to add these nuances should be looked into and fixed for future guests.
