This place has great potential to be great, but a few things happened that marred our stay to less than average. First, the check-in process should be streamlined. Badly snowing at self check-in (we arrived before 6:00pm) . We parked at the left side of the house, our first impression was that the path was not well lit to the front door. The pavement was covered by a few inches of snow (I couldn't really tell well where exactly was the lawn and the steps to the front door). We couldn't pull and push our luggages inside unless using the driveway. The driveway was well shovelled, yet it was sloppy and icy . I slid, but luckily I was rather sportive and did not fell. --> I wish the host could have warned us about these conditions prior to our arrival. In comparison, some other hosts that we came across this trip have warned us about this snowy winter storm. To unaware travellers, I think this is of utmost important (Temperature-wise it was over 30 F/ around freezing point in Celsius, so not that bad, but the traffic was slow to a halt and we saw heavy congestion and road accidents) . I came across her neighbor/a complete stranger on the sidewalk the next morning warning us to be well aware of walking on icy pavement, as she had slipped and fell the first night we checked in, and needed to go to a hospital the following day. Second, the floor heating in the living room was inadequate. It took more than 15 hours to heat up and feel great. The living room was quite chilly when we checked in (the thermal radiation effect that the building have trapped cold in the previous day(s), we suspect, is the main problem.) I stayed briefly in the living room for the first night because the ambience was cold (as a result, I drove away and stayed indoors at the town center for the first night; on the subsequent morning, I stayed inside the bedroom for coffee because the living room remained chilly, 12 hours after checked in. This was really a pity. --> I suggest the host considers installing an AI smart thermostat, wifi controllable, so she could regulate the place to hospitable conditions prior to check in. The sliver lining was that the host reached out and gave us extra blanket on the second day (and the two space heaters at bathroom and bedroom functioned well). And, the problem went away on the second day/night, after the place was being properly heated. Overall, the first night was terrible; in contrast, our second night was much better, felt at home. The neighborhood was great. That's why I said this place has potential to be great, but it could not consistently deliver.
