The communication was very quick with the host, and I’m thankful for that because we had several issues during our stay. The drains in both bathrooms were clogged so much that they immediately backed up when the water started running. It took several messages to the host to get this taken care of, and the first round was unprofessional trying to have us fix issue. If it was cleaned thoroughly before we came, I would think the drain issue would’ve been noticed. It was unpleasant to have to shower in standing water for the first few days of our trip, and unsanitary. Not to mention, we had to deal with plumber visits during our trip. These issues should have been addressed before we arrived. There were also ants in the dining room. The loft gets extremely warm, even with the fan running up there and with the air conditioning on in the house. If you’re going to sleep up there you need to like it toasty. The location was good and the fenced in backyard is nice, along with the eating area outside. There is also a safety concern in the basement, either the GFI or the dehumidifier is going bad. I messaged the host regarding this, it was neither acknowledged nor addressed. It is safety concern. This house can be a nice place for a family, although I don’t recommend it if you have small children. The tub is not accessible for an adult to help a child because the tub faucet is on the same side as the vanity and there are glass doors, not a curtain, so you can’t really get to it. Also, the deck outside has some edges that drop off, which are not ideal for little children. If your children are young and going to stay in the bedrooms on the main floor, I recommend bringing something to darken the room, unless you want them to go to bed after 9 PM. There are simple blinds in those rooms and the room stays bright until sunset. The house seemed great from the posting, but I would have loved to know all of this information before I booked.
