We rented both sides of this duplex for our end of year staff retreat - there were six people on each side. We were in one side of the duplex almost every day all day long working and meeting together reflecting and planning. So it was very important that the Internet worked - it was very important that we had peace - that we had all of the things that we needed to get our work done. But a few things made this difficult 1) This is in a new construction area - so lots of noise throughout the day (and one group complained of barking dogs) 2) There had been a fire prior to our visit that caused some damage to both places - multiple windows broken, the gate was broken so we were unable to enter or exit through the gate multiple times, instead had to walk around the other side to come in 3) The Internet was extremely slow 4) The owner scheduled at least two different repair people to come during the time we were there which was very disruptive and inconvenient to our visit 5) We had to purchase our own toilet paper, paper towel and soap. They were also very stingy with the towels - we were there Monday - Saturday some folks didn’t have complete sets of towels and there were no extras.
Individually none of these things are the end of world but altogether it’s a bit much. Aesthetically, the place is lovely and the beds are comfortable. The owner did offer to compensate us...for the supplies we had to buy, but not at all for the overall inconvenience he cause. This situation also left us feeling a bit uncomfortable and made it necessary for us to take pics and videos of the space prior exiting as a measure of CYA.
