Not What I Expected

I wanted a nice, quiet house to at which to spend Xmas. The Wilson House seems to be a good match but: 1. This is NOT a Quiet Neighborhood. 5th Avenue is a main thoroughfare for Emergency Vehicles (Fire Truck and Ambulances came through an average of 4 times a day). Additionally, the Bar District is within a block of the house and I could hear the crowds until early in the morning. The windows are single pain and we heard everthing (especially the front bedroom). Bar Patrons used the parking spaces on 5th Avenue for their forays to the Bars loudly rambling back at the wee hours in the morning. Finally, the neighboring property within 5 - 10 yards from the Wilson House is undergoing major Renovations. Worker started at sun up (~ 0715) with hammering, loud banging and music blasting out of the open windows. Quiet Hours from 11pm to 8 am. That was a farce. Bars Crowds and Renovations could not be controlled directly. However, IF HAD KNOWN THIS AHEAD OF TIME I WOULD HAVE PASSED ON THIS HOUSE. The Wilson House owner informed me that he communicated my concerns to his neighbor and he thought they had agreement, but I didn’t experience peace at this house. Bottom Line: BE Transparent in your listings! 2. The listed shows 3 bed rooms, however It is 2 bed rooms with a Den with a Hide Away bed. 3. "Plenty parking on the Street” until bar patrons show up at 6pm 4. Finally the back yard had large ant hills On rainy days the ants came inside (sink, front bedroom)

Hawkins Stay

This was a great experience. It was our first time using VRBO and staying in this type of accommodation. The Home was very clean. It was super accommodating to our dog. Had doggy doors and food bowls already. We really enjoyed our stay!. The owner was also very helpful and always responded immediatly if we had questions. I would highly recommend this house and also return.
