Stayed here for two nights with our closest two friends and their gentle, sweet old dog that can't handle kennels due to past trauma before her rescue.
Loved the historic nature of the house, the pretty neighborhood, and how close by car we were to everything. I definitely disagree with how the price is absolutely inflated because of said location when it's literally a pandemic, but I digress.
Our most major issues were the following: the place is falsely listed as dog friendly, however after confirming our booking we were asked to pay BY VENMO an additional $75 "dog fee". Payment by venmo was very strange and inappropriate, felt extremely under the table and sneaky, and also it's misleading to not be upfront with that additional charge: it would have cost more to cancel because they only told us AFTER accepting our reservation.
The upstairs bathtub with claw feet is delightful as someone who grew up with one, but they have set it up as a shower very, very unsafely. I almost fell multiple times accidentally stepping on the bottom of the shower curtain liner. So, so dangerous. There was also no where to put hair products, as someone with an extensive routine my options were either to put them on the nearby mantel and drip water everywhere, or take up half the bathtuh with them on the ground and have to try to twist around and bend over whole trying not to fail. it was a horrible experience, I should have just not tried to wash my hair.
And finally, I didn't think anything of the $165 cleaning fee given the size of the house and a 2 night stay during COVID. However, on the day of our check out we discovered we had to essentially clean everything ourselves!! we left the house with having loaded the laundry and dishwasher, stripped the beds, and brought out all garbage, recycling, and trash.
I'm just so upset at how much this cost us, and feel very taken advantage of in terms of the "dog friendly" adiditional dog venmo. would not stay here again or recommend it whatsoever. Too bad, it's a lovely old house otherwise.
