House exactly as listed. We had a question and the property owner replied instantly - great communication. Close to Talcott Mountain which was an amazing hike with beautiful views.

Once we found the house it was very warm & cozy. The mini- muffins on the counter was a bonus. House mailbox was 87 but address was 89 that you only see if door is closed which it wasn't on 1st 2 passes. Limited exterior lights made coming back at night a challenge.

Checked in 4 pm, housecleaner was inside, not ready until 7 pm-ish. The place was tidy, but needs a Deep Clean, the futon stained, dirty utensils in drawer, mice poop, ... Not set-up for five adults. Uninhabitable due to high heat inside, 84 degrees with window left open by cleaner. Thermostat not working. Vintage cast iron radiators heating in each room are working, very hot. Host not helpful, would not come adjust the heating system. All Guests left for hotel. VRBO support in process due to heating problem.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Location was good. But the place was dirty. There were dust everywhere: on shelves, on furniture, on refrigerator. There were dirty dishes with mildew on them in the dishwasher. When we run dishwasher it leaked. Lamp fell off the ceiling. And then we found our loaf of bread half eaten and mice droppings everywhere. Owner explained that dishwasher wasn't run properly because he didn't provide dishwasher tablets. He did brought these tabs to us and then tried to fix that dishwasher. When light fixture fell off he texted telling me that he'll come next day or the following but we never saw him anymore.
