I spent the weekend with 3 other girl friends at Madeline’s listing. We chose this location because it looked very nice and comfortable from the pictures and had a great location. Overall, it was indeed comfortable and close to things downtown. However, there were still a few issues that gave us some major headaches and worries. (*I have discussed everything with Madeline, and hopefully she addresses them for future guests. If these things are fixed, this listing would definitely be a 5 star experience!!)
Pros:
- Decorated as advertised; very cute!!
- Beds are REALLY comfortable. Many pillows and blankets provided.
- Couch is also insanely comfy, if you like squishy cushions. It is quite low though, so might be uncomfortable to get up for those with bad knees. For us, it was fine.
- Kitchen is very well equipped! We were able to bake cookies with no fuss.
- Shower pressure is wonderful. Fixtures are pretty cute as well.
- Washer and dryer provided, nice to be able to wash clothes.
- BIG PRO: Madeline is VERY responsive!
- Overall pretty clean.
Cons:
- The electronic keyless lock entry was extremely finicky and ended up being straight up faulty. At first, we just had problems with locking the door on our way out. It added like 20 min to our exit. The second night, we came back very very late. The lock was spazzing out and wouldn’t register the code. After trying for 30 min, we were really scared that we’d be locked out for the whole night!! But then Madeline ended up responding and let us in. Dunno where we would’ve gone if she didn’t respond. This lock was the main reason for my 3 star review.
- Upon arrival, the toilet was leaking from the side. Someone had put the trash can to catch the leak. It still worked but was kind of concerning to see. It also rocked a little from side to side. Functional but needs maintenance. (Madeline did offer to send maintenance but we declined since we weren’t comfortable with them being there without us.)
- Some minor provisions (shampoo, laundry detergent) were not provided. We had to go buy them ourselves.
