Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I stayed with my fiancé and his sister for 2 weekend nights, and we had a mostly positive experience. The unit was clean, but there was a musty smell to it that we noted as soon as we walked in. It is in a basement, so that’s the likely reason. The host graciously provided a dehumidifier and an air purifier to help with that issue. A major drawback for us was that the people above us were very loud and inconsiderate during our stay. It sounded like they were having a get together at one point, but we heard running/stomping back and forth across the floors at all hours of the day. My future sister in law informed me that they woke her up at 4am on Sunday morning stomping and laughing loudly from above. I don’t know if they’re full time residents on the property or if they were also guests, but we felt that needed to be mentioned just in case. A couple positives to note were that the beds were very comfortable and the shower water pressure/temp was fantastic the price for the stay was also very reasonable.
