I'll start with the positive and say that this cottage was everything I'd hoped it would be: beautifully decorated, light & bright, perfectly located in an adorable, quiet, walkable neighborhood convenient to public transit. Loved it. Communication was also swift, friendly & easy. Unfortunately, there were some cleanliness issues. We found that the bedding smelled so strongly we had to rewash it. It smelled like mildew and rancid detergent, if there is such a thing. It permeated the whole place. Additionally, the little touches we had become accustomed to in all of our other Air BnB accommodations were just lacking here. We had to hunt out the toilet paper and hand towels, some of which were stained, and the kitchen was missing some basics. We were told a heater was available but it was nowhere to be found, which may not have been the host's fault. We were graciously allowed to check in a little early to drop our bags with the caveat that the cleaner had until 2pm to come by, so we left for lunch. Not sure if they came before or after...we think they'd already arrived but if that was the case it seems unlikely that we'd have found a dead roach in the sink and another huge living one in the tub so soon. All of this added up to an uneasy beginning and although we ultimately enjoyed our stay, paying a hefty $70 for cleaning while being asked to wash our own sheets when leaving and running into such issues means it’s unlikely we’ll return. Such a shame.
