Nice house, very responsive host. House is very cozy and comfortable. Yard needs mowing and cleaning, back porch area needed to be cleaned up. Backyard was nice bonus.
We stayed 4 nights. The living area was comfortable and bright. The kitchen was functional and beds/linens were good. The shared bathroom had a DIY barn door - it was cute but with gaps on the sides there was little privacy. Bathroom fan did not seem to work. Front steps into house need to be fixed - it was a big step up into the house. As the house summary states, there is someone living upstairs that you would hear on occasion -walking or coming down stairs to separate entrance but not a big deal. We did not use the shared deck as weather was not great Overall the house was cute, comfortable and the manager was a great communicator.
