LOVELY HOST // THE HOUSE WAS A HASSLE
Iv’e never left a negative review before, nor have I received one. This is just the truth of my experience in this house. Its a lovely house, but not as clean or quiet as the photos would suggest and that made it hard to relax.
UPON ARRIVAL: Terry told me there was NO air conditioning. And there would be construction, (tho it would be quiet) in the basement. These things need to be stated BEFORE one arrives.
I I’d just completed an 8 hour travel to day to arrive here so instead of arguing about it I just wanted to start my 4 days of vacation.
Again, its a NICE HOUSE, lovely wood floors, lovely high ceilings and space ... but a hassle to be in because it’s not at pictured, and unkempt around the edges, AND there was too much going on around the house (construction)
1. The family room off the kitchen // is NOT whats in the IMAGE. The modern white furniture? has been replaced with other USED furniture. Which wasn’t HORRIBLE, (though the ottomans were so bad i just moved them out of the way) but it wasnt nice either. I could have moved I suppose, but I was too tired after a full day of travel so I made the best of it.
2. What IS HORRIBLE is the carpet in the living room. I’ve NEVER seen ANYTHING, this that dirty, in ANY hotel or Airbnb - EVER. I am an experienced traveler, - and I”ve never seen such a thing. THIS, needs to be changed, ESPECIALLY if Terry is goin to request people remove their shoes.
3. The drapes in the living room were ALSO VERY stained. I’ve just not seen anything like that. This need to be fixed!
4. There was construction in the basement. It wasn’t TOO loud, but I could hear talking in the basement. I HATED that. Again, had I been told before I came that this was an issue, I’d have not stayed. Terry told me to tell her if I was goin out for a day and she’d schedule it then, instead she did it when she wanted to. (I suspect she’d have halted it if I left, but I didnt want to talk, I wanted to rest)
5. The Master bed and bathroom, IS NICE ... BUT I saw a sliver fish and spider in there, so I slept down stairs on the OLD USED COUCH ... ALSO, I slept down stairs because there was no air conditioner, (again didnt know until i got there) and it was HOOOOOT.
That said, I ADORED the steam shower in the master bedroom.
7. Also, the fire place went out, Terry (who again is lovey) said she’d come fix it, but since my vacation was so short, I didnt want repair people upstairs and construction downstairs.
This is a lovely house, truly, the reviews show people loving it, but I would say for extra discerning travelers, its not what it LOOKS like in the listing. Especially the family room of the kitchen. I’ve used LOTS of air bnb’s this is only the 2nd time I’ve ever left a complaint. I read reviews, and choose SUPER HOSTS ... This has never steered me wrong. This house wasn’t up to par for me.
