The place was clean, very well organized and even labeled. There was pretty much everything we needed in terms of glassware, kitchen utensils, extra towels, etc.
Most of the rules were communicated beforehand, but pretty strict so I would make sure to go over them and send them to your guests before booking to avoid any confusion. ( no vaping on any part of the property, no spraying air freshener or lighting candles, recycle/compost, run a load of laundry before you leave, etc. )
The location is a little outside of the main city and the neighborhood a little iffy, but still cleaner than downtown and close enough that Ubering was pretty easy with quick wait times. ( takes about 15 minutes driving to get to a lot of the main restaurants/bars).
Our only big complaint is that this is just the downstairs level of a home, not an entire house or “ cottage”. At the time we booked and read through the listing this was not made clear, as this was listed as a “private cottage” and an “ entire house” on Airbnb.
Upon arrival we tried to go in through the main front door of the home, but a neighbor redirected us the a side door where we entered and were met with a split level home with stairs going down to our rental in front of us and another door to the right of us that was blocked off.
When you are expecting to get a certain level of privacy or were looking at similar listings that were actually separate guest houses/cottages within the same price range, it ends up being a bit disappointing.
Overall, if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay and don’t mind someone upstairs, I would recommend. This was still a cute space and Julie was attentive.
However, if you are wanting privacy or plan on spending time between your activities hanging out/getting ready at the Airbnb, I would look into the other options in the area.
