No complaints about the host. Friendly and responsive. The house itself is in dire need of some maintenance and some serious work. The master bedroom smelled very strongly of cat urine and mildew. The house is in a rough condition and it almost looks like the foundation may be damaged--windows are cracking and nothing is level. The soundproofing from upstairs is almost non-existent. I'm sure the neighbors were merely walking normally above us but from down below it sounded like they were stomping.
Perhaps the biggest complaint (together with the smell that I assume this is related to) is that the master bedroom carpet had a wet spot the entire stay. There was a space heater placed in front of it when we walked in presumably to dry it out, but it did not dry the entire trip and the leak was not from above...
The primary redeeming quality of this place is the stunning view and the awesome location. The water taxi 10min away takes you right into downtown. Super convenient.
