Great location and comfortable space, exactly as advertised. A few quick notes: access is via an unpaved grass yard in the back, which is very dark at night until you get close enough to trigger the door light. The basement stairs also had a lot of leaves on them, which felt a bit unsafe. Inside, the bathroom doesn’t have an extractor fan, so it stays pretty damp. Also, be careful with the bedroom layout—the bed is pushed right against a door, and you can easily catch or hurt yourself on the door handle. Finally, the house isn't well-insulated for sound; we could clearly hear noise from the upstairs residents late into the night.

Thank you so much for staying and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. I’m glad the location and space worked well for you! I really appreciate you flagging these details, and I’ll be addressing them: a brighter light along the back path, keeping the basement stairs clear, looking into bathroom ventilation, and reassessing the bedroom layout around that door handle. I do want to gently mention, for this guest and anyone reading, that I’m genuinely here to help during your stay. If something ever feels off or could be more comfortable, please reach out in the moment. I’d much rather hear about it right away so I can fix it while you’re here, whether that’s clearing the stairs, sorting out a light, or anything else. Making your stay good is exactly what I’m here for.
