I only ran into the host, Katya, for a moment while we were rushing off for an appointment. She seems lovely. The stay, however, failed to meet our expectations in several ways:
1) One of the main reasons we chose this listing over other options was to snuggle up next to the wood stove in the evening. Whereas our other Airbnb stays have included wood/firestarting tools, we were extremely disappointed in the evening to find that there were no such accommodations made by the host.
2) The place isn't particularly clean or comfortable - there are cobwebs in the bathroom, the floor is cold (slippers provided, however), worn furniture (not in a cool way), the bed is extremely firm, the couch is springy. There was a coffee maker but no coffee provided. Overall, too many little discomforts and inconveniences for the money.
3) After a late night, we were woken before 7am by a loud pounding noise. I looked outside for construction (on a Saturday?) before realizing that the sound seemed to be coming from the fireplace exhaust. It eventually stopped after about 10-15 minutes, but extremely disruptive and frustrating.
