Full disclosure, I didn’t actually spend a night of the 2 day booking. I rented the space for branding photos for 8 hours, during daylight hours.
The living room/kitchen was open and airy space, and the furnishings and decor were fairly new and super clean and very thoughtfully arranged .
We did have an issue with the smoke alarm battery going off- there were no extra batteries at the townhouse and I contacted Sherry the host after 20 minutes of the beeping and not finding spare batteries anywhere. A co-host contacted me but was unable to come and change the batteries. Thankfully there are bar stools so my lovely photographer (whose about 5 inches taller than me) was able to reach it the smoke alarm on the ceiling. Unfortunately there were no extra batteries in the town house so we had to go to the convenience store down a block away and purchased a 4 pack of batteries. We tried the brand new batteries but none of them worked; so after almost 2 hours of the beeping throughout the townhouse and since no one was still able to come, we removed the smoke alarm unit from the ceiling. I took a picture and notified Sherry and she was quick at responding.
The only suggestion I have for the Hosts is to purchase a cover for the rooftop furniture as it was completely soaked and I was unfortunately unable to get photos taken upstairs siting on the outdoor furniture as I had planned. (And I didn’t want to dirty up towels to mop up the water - we had tried to brush the water and also shake it off the cushions but they were still soaked). It was incredibly disappointing as one of the big draws of me biting the bullet and spending the money for 2 nights when I was only going to use the space for less than 8 hours was so I could take photos up there. I don’t mind the rain or overcast at all (it actually makes for much better photos ) and came prepared with umbrellas, but it was very disappointing to not be able to enjoy the space and use it for its intended use especially since the space was such a huge draw.
