Shari and Eddie (an old and friendly dog) make this place worth considering. The continental breakfast and Shari’s helpful attitude are also good. However, I have to mention a few concerns with the only intention to make this option 5 stars:
1. Sleeping quarters were moved to the basement, but the listing showed a room on the second floor.
2. The bedroom in the basement does not have a door for privacy. Shari does not go in there, but Eddie does.
3. No egress window. Most building codes in the US require a second exit from a basement bedroom. Shari’s doesn’t have one. I assume Airbnb would also require it.
4. Shari didn’t provide the wifi password right away, and when she did, it never worked. Her wifi system doesn’t connect to the internet.
5. The toilet in is very small. The sink is pretty tiny and if you wash your teeth, you end up spitting on the faucet. I’m short and not heavy, I think someone tall and heavy would find it hard to use.
I don’t want to sound like it wasn’t a good stay, but correcting these things along with the great personality of the host, would make the place a top rated spot.
