Kitchen was adequate. Living room spacious and comfortable. Beds, pillows, and linen all were comfortable. Be aware that the stairs leading to the 2nd floor are very steep and you do have to watch your head going up and coming down due to a bulkhead. The floors are uneven on the main level, it's not a huge deal, but I have MS and had issues with balance. Having a washer and dryer was convenient. Everything worked well. Communication with the owner was excellent, check-in and check- out was smooth. There is a fenced in backyard which was nice to have with a kid.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was conveniently located to where we needed to go. It was very clean and smelled nice. The shower has amazing water pressure, and the large shower head made it feel like I was getting a nice message. I also liked the large gas stove. There were several items that could be used if you forgot something. (Toiletries, condiments, spices, etc.)Two very small things though. The ceiling on the stairs is very low. This is mentioned in the check-in guide, however we didnt read that until after we brought our stuff in. There is also a sign, but it can only be seen as you are heading downstairs. Some sort of sign at the bottom would come in handy. Also the listing mentioned there was a coffee pot, so we assumed it was a drip pot and brought ground coffee. It turned out to be a Kurig. So an update to the listing to reflect that would be nice. Neither of these negatively impacted our stay, though.
We were in town for a quick trip. Home was comfortable but the beds upstairs were hard to sleep on. The house has warm and cold spots. But the host was responsive and had clear rules for us to follow. The home was also decorated for Christmas.
The house was in a great location. The house was clean. Not far from restaurants and the downtown area. The neighborhood was quiet. Jay was very responsive. I would love to stay there again if in the area.
It was very cute and welcoming. Host was quick with response to messages. Only thing it was missing was a sitting area outback. Great stay had a blast!
The host was difficult, he made our situation messy and impossible, he is NOT worth working with.
I contacted Jay because we had an end of life in the family, not expecting much the week of the rental. He said he could change the dates. Then the morning of the reservation he told me to just cancel, he would refund me, and we could reschedule.
I tried to cancel with VRBO, it wouldnât let me because it was the day of, so I asked Jay to do it. He told me to âtalk VRBO intoâ letting me cancel. I tried several ways, but they couldnât because it was an active reservation. As a host, he knew this would happen. When I told him, he then said he wouldnât do it on his end because VRBO would penalize him (VRBO assured me in the help chat this was not true and his fee would be waived).
I gullibly took him at his word, my mistake. He should have just told me from the start he wouldnât do anything. When he told me he would help I cancelled my child care, trusting his offer. If he had been honest from the start that he wasnât going to do anything, this could have been avoided.
But because he lied about helping and then didnât communicate in a timely manner, I am simply out the money. Also, it was past 8:30pm Friday evening that he even gave me instructions on getting into the rental - over 4 hours late and I live in a different state!
100% it is not worth working with Jay. I also want to mention, he resorted to sarcasm and name calling when I called him out for not keeping his word.
The bed was comfy, decorations were just spot on, i dont like alot of fluff and this house fit me perfectly. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The urban path was very close and was a great walking experience. The bathroom was updated and clean, good shower pressure and.didnt have to duck under to fit! The kitchen had everything i needed and more.
