I was hesitant to book this place because of the mixed reviews, but I can say that, overall, it was a great stay. Here’s the rundown of our experience:
- Great location in a great neighborhood. Easy walk to everything… grocery, coffee, and lots of nice restaurants. Definitely felt safe in the home and in the neighborhood.
- Home is very spacious and linens were clean. King and queen bed were comfortable. The third bedroom is two twin beds and totally set up for children, so not so comfortable for adults. Also, heat rises, so the third floor (where the twin bedroom is) gets very toasty. We think that there is a fourth bedroom up there with a futon (based on what the listing says), but it was locked.
- The home is for sale and it is obvious that the owner’s priority is staging it to sell, not making it a special vacation rental. Aside from the quirky things that other reviews listed (hole in the floor, huge crack in the sink, and other unfinished remodeling projects), it is missing things like garbage cans in the bathrooms, hand towels in the kitchen, toilet paper holders, and other amenities that make you feel like a valued guest. They’ve got random stuff crammed in the corner of the kitchen, tiles stacked on the countertop, and multiple drawers in the kitchen are full of tools and random personal items.
Ultimately, despite some of the quirks, I would stay here again.
