The house is in a perfect location but is VERY run-down and is not up to standards. You should be aware:
(1) As with most old houses with wooden floorboards, it's normal that the floors and stairs creak. If anyone goes to the bathroom at night, everyone else will wake up.
(2) Several of the doors are impossible to close properly (for example: the bathroom), and the doornobs are all loose, probably as a result of people pulling hard on them trying to get the door to fit into the doorframe.
(3) The door that opens onto the porch is not possible to close and lock. As a result, we did not feel safe in the house and wound up propping the door closed with a chair, because the next-door neighbor would have an easy time getting into the property.
(4) The shower has no water pressure, it comes out as a mere trickle.
(5) The water heater does not work properly. On several mornings we had to shower with cold water.
It's normal for an old house to be a bit run-down but in my opinion the hosts should be more clear about the state of the house, and warn potential guests about these problems. Better yet, they should make an investment and fix them, at least the basics like water pressure in the shower, hot water heater and fixing the doors.
It would have been nice to have hand soap in the bathroom, but maybe they just forgot to supply it in our case.
There are some redeeming qualities about the house: first, the location which is ideal; secondly, the beds were comfortable. I hope that over time the owners make an investment and get the place up to a decent quality, which as of now is very deficient. But as of now, this place is not recommendable unless you really value location over quality.
