8/10 Good

Virginia F.

Disliked: Cleanliness
it was very pet friendly. The kitchen was fine but there is not enough sitting space for the number of people that it sleeps. The web site does not tell you that you must go outside and downstairs to get to the children’s room. A concern for a parent. I had safety concerns at the property but have been told they would address the issues.I loved the area and the neighborhood. It was not cleaned very well before we arrived.

Diana D.

Advertising misleading. Did not state third bedroom and 2 bathroom in moldy basement. Floor was concerning as it was not level for an elderly adult. Large hole by counter. Would not stay again.

Kassandra H.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Expected better with description on listing. Stairs to rooms are on the outside, therefore one room is upstairs, and another downstairs no access from inside of no light in backyard. Cleanliness was 3/10 . Roaches in kitchen, 4 of 8 woke up with bug bites. Flooring was cracked, not leveled. Broken remote to living room tv. Stair lights not working, only 1 porch light was working.

Wouldn’t recommend

Unfortunately, our experience with this property fell below expectations. Prior to arrival, the host's communication was unusually probing, which created a sense of unease despite the reservation being fully paid in advance.Upon arrival, we found that the property felt significantly smaller than portrayed in the listing photos. Additionally, there were several visible cracks in the flooring that detracted from the overall comfort of the space.While the location may suit some travelers, we found these issues impacted the quality of our stay. Transparency and a more welcoming approach would go a long way in improving the guest experience.
