Wonderful walking score for sure. Can fit a large group but nowhere for the group to hang out together and relax. The kitchen became our communal area and was great but after all the walking after a couple days everyone really desired a couch or living room., or even a soft chair. The couch upstairs is sorta isolated and set aside to those that sleep on the top floor. The whole place had dead or dying batteries from the garbage lids to the tv remotes and worst of all the front entrance key pad. Only 1 hard key available for 8 seperate paytrons so it left some people sleeping in their cars waiting for the one who had the key to make their way back and let them in. Had the keypads worked on the top or bottom floor this could have been alleviated hopefully. Neither of the televisions worked-different problems on each one. Repeated automated emails from airbnb via host reminding us of the check out kept pinging daily making relaxing even more impossible; just brought uneeded stress. Minimal items to cook with-but beautiful kitchen. Front burner on gas stove doesnt light but the other 3 do-be mindful so you dont fill the room with gas. Tea/coffee maker was nice. Beds were very comfortable and clean but extra linens had to be stolen from spare beds on our fridgid night. The welcome book gave great options and insight into the neighborhood but no tips on how to find the thermostat in the home. Parking was challenging but not impossible. Try the safeway garage up the street that offers some free times and is indoors. We got away with street parking as there werent any meter police but it was risky. Icy/muddy/mossy side area on deck became a quick slipping hazard so be mindful-also careful as yhere isnt a boot rug to prevent tracking it in the house and no cleaning towels or rags to dry up snow. Bottom bedroom private door doesnt lock at all, somewhat of a safetybconcern.
Overall, extremely clean and pretty home that leaves a sterile and cold sensation on the heart. All street traffic stares in at all hours so be mindful of lights on at night with glass front. Lack of attention to detail makes the $ spent a bit of a disappointment but also one cant get much more in that neighborhood with a large group. Host communicates and is very professional but not in a way that resolves matters or settles issues; more in a way that makes you feel like you just got off the phone with a really good service representative trained in skirting the true issue. Our whole group was willing to just brush off the issues until housekeeping showed up and apoligized profusely as these matters have been known and unadressed. Also, bring extra towels, blankets, cooking hardware and of course the famouse washcloth because there are 2 delegated towels per bed and no back ups. Top shower runs out of hot water immediately if middle floor person takes a bath too. Its as if it was a duplex or with a parking carport on the 1st floor converted into 3 floors of bedrooms without any foresight to update plumbing or communal living. All in all-it works in a pinch but i wouldnt make it top of my list by any means.
