We encountered some issues as a result of a fluke storm that was not foreseeable- Mikey was super helpful, responsive, and easily contacted. The house is beautiful and the dogs loved the fenced in yard area to stretch their legs. we will rent from Mikey on our next trip to Norwich :).
The property is within walking distance to the center of town, restaurants and shops. The house is spacious and colorfully decorated. The owner was accessible by phone, very personable and helpful.
Family reuoon after 26 years apart
Everyone had a great time. Could have used extra towels being 6 of us a couple nights but we managed. Nice to have had local snacks and drinks waiting
This property was clean and fully prepared for our stay. We love the house.
Could use some updates for Handicapped persons.
Overall we give it 5 starts!
We had a nice time. Older home is well maintained with lots of charm. Easy to find with the cute porch lights. House was just as portrayed online. Home owner was very receptive and answered a few questions quickly.
Enjoyable stay. Very steep stairs for an older couple and the bath/shower was very slippery. TV was difficult to use. But we were very comfortable and slept well. Grateful for the air conditioning upstairs as it was a hot week . We did feel safe here. Thanks Mikey!
Very spacious old brick home. Really cute relaxing back yard. Backyard was also completely fenced in so if traveling with pets they have a little freedom as if they were home. Decorated with so many cute treasures. Close to all amenities.
Checkin process was simple everything for access was given 3 days in advance.
Host communication was great.
Really loved the fact the host had left some beverages in the fridge for you when you arrived, especially after a few hour trip.
Home has everything to cook there, so no need for take out. Especially if you are one to cook.
Loved everything with the exception, I am a residential house cleaner with my own business, home does need a deep clean, highs and lows pictures are work very dusty cobwebs all over. Overall cleanliness was good as in counters bathroom linens smelled great.
Would definitely rent again to go see my family or sightseeing. Thanks
Very roomy liked artsy decor and private back yard
Very pleased, However , I feel I should mention that this is an older house, so not all rooms have wall light switches. However, there are plenty of fixtures & lamps for lighting .
Loved the back yard has a privacy fence, relaxing atmosphere with wind chimes.
The home was clean and had artsy decor . I was a bit challenged with figuring out programs for the TV ,but hubby figured it out no cable, but plenty of programs to choose from such as netflix, hulu, amazon prime, disneyplus. would stay again .
This property was convenient for our purposes. We had some difficulty finding and turning on lights inside and the living room lights did not give us enough light to read. Many bulbs were burned out both on the porch string and in the kitchen. We like old houses, but for safety we felt the loose newel post on the stairway could be tightened and a grab bar in the bath/shower could be added.
The amenities provided were great in the kitchen and bath, except for a the lack of some type of a bath/shower soap.
The home itself is very quaint but in sad need of repairs. The banister on the stairs was not solid at all. All of the dining room chairs were falling apart , I literally sat in one and fell to the floor. Reported it and have yet to hear anything back. And no where in the listing did it indicate there were stairs in the home or that all the bedrooms were upstairs as well as the only shower and I was traveling with a handicapped person. . The neighborhood was iffy at best. There were cob webs all over the house. The Harry Potter bathroom was so tiny my knees literally hit the wall and the toilet leaked. The shower walls were covered in mildew. We were to stay for 4 days and were given one towel and one washcloth each for the 4 days and no laundry in the home. We ended up leaving a day early because we were all so uncomfortable. I would never stay there again!!
Comfortable and attractive furnishings. Pretty, updated vintage home with original features. Well appointed kitchen with pots, serving ware, dishes and flatware. 1/2 bath downstairs is actually a toilet in a small closet w/o a sink, connected to the kitchen. Authentic for a house of it's vintage but not comfortable for an adult. Full bath upstairs is large and well stocked with supplies. The blind in the primary bedroom doesn't cover the window. We needed to use a towel to make up for it. The other rooms had curtains instead of blinds. Useless when there is an air conditioner in the window. Inconvenient for privacy and being able to sleep after sunrise.
We enjoyed our stay at Mikey's place, even though the place could use a good deep clean and some long term maintenance. The house is beautifully decorated and Mikey was a generous host both in his response times and little welcome items he provided. Our main issue was with the cleanliness of the property, though not in the main areas (bathrooms, kitchen sink, tables). All the 'secondary'/ background surfaces (ie the many framed images and elaborate moldings) were covered in a thick layer of dust, all the fabric floor coverings (rugs, mats) were a shade of beige, and every utensil and cooking vessel in the kitchen needed to be cleaned before use. Another area of improvement would be with the curtains in the office/ orange bedroom: this is the room with the most windows, one of which faces directly east, and yet its only window covering are sheers. Our 2 kids who slept in there were up at sunrise every morning! All in all, this is quirky old house that provides a lot of space for a traveling family and we were not unhappy with our stay. With some tweaks and a working ice maker/ provided bag of ice, I'd bring my family here again.
We arrived in Norwich...the weather outside was frightful! The
house was WARM and cozy! We visited with our grandchildren...
Santa time! Unfortunately, we departed a day early based on the
weather forcast. Travel was dicey. We absolutely loved this home
and we will book again! Merry Christmas Host Mikey!
