I’m trying to be as objective as possible on the review. The hosts were super accommodating to a last minute booking. The check in was smooth and the place has 4 king size beds which is incredible and also a garage to park in. You couldn’t ask for a better location and the downstairs tenant was super sweet and welcoming.
Upon check in (or before booking) the rules stated were quite strict. To the point where it was almost off putting and then i decided it would be worth it to rent because they probably have higher cleaning standards because of the rules. (Fines for noise etc) Which was fine with us because we’re a family who goes to bed early anyway. However with such strict rules, I had in my head that it must be an immaculate home and I pay extra on this site to get such standards.
The home is an older home so just so you know what to expect. The floors creak, some fixtures are older so probably harder to clean, older carpet on stairs etc. There were some cleaning standards that I think could be possibly improved that I’ve notified the owner about privately.
Ultimately we ended up leaving the rental a day early as the 4 of us just weren’t entirely comfortable in the home.
Small tweaks could really improve in the future I believe. The home is super quaint with an amazing location. I’m not sure I’d book again, but I realized I think I like to stay in newer homes when it’s not my own home. Clearly there are many people who loved this so we all have different tastes and preferences which is great. This was just my two cents.
