Great old house, lots of character and space inside and out and in a nice neighborhood. Good for a group, provided you're fine with all the rules. We would have liked to have had some music playing outside at a normal level but no music was ever allowed outside and we are rule followers (and did know that going in). As with all old houses, there are some little things that could use attention (knobs coming off, etc.) but not a big deal. Again, the house itself was great but I was a little turned off by the host's handling of the dishwasher breaking just before our stay. When we were alerted, I responded that it was a bit of a bummer given we were dealing with our son's wedding, but would see how it went when we got there (as it's hard to know how big of a deal that is until you see the kitchen, etc.). Host responded that we could cancel if it was too much of an inconvenience, a few hours before we were to check into the house for a 4 night's stay for my son's wedding, a house that had been booked for a year and 1/2 and for which we paid over three thousand. A very odd response. I've done almost 50 stays over the last couple of years through airbnb and more on vrbo and of course things have gone wrong as that's life. When that's happened, hosts have generally been very quick to make some sort of gesture to make up for whatever problem occurred (1 even offering us a full night's rent back for a temporary power issue), sometimes monetary but some have offered to send food or provide extra tv privileges, etc. We often don't take hosts up on the offer but it's a nice gesture and makes you feel good about the host and their intent to try to make good on something that's often out of their control. I contacted the host before writing this review to see if maybe I'd misinterpreted her email but she reiterated that she thought that it was the right thing to do to give us the chance to cancel. Maybe that would be helpful for some in a very different situation, but definitely not for us. Had she offered to send paper products, a bottle of wine, the message that we shouldn't worry about the dishes on departure, anything along those lines, the inconvenience would have not tainted our stay. I don't know if we would have even taken them up on any of those offers, but I wouldn't be writing about this and would have a totally different opinion of the hosts.
