It was a pleasant place, handy to everything and certainly had everything needed. The king bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. I do recommend that just once price be indicated instead of all the extra charges on top of the basic price of the place.

The description of this house was a bit misleading. This is an old house, which we knew, but it is in need of some updates. The steps upstairs are narrow, steep, and really dark. There are small sensor lights on the steps, but they aren't efficient. The master bath has an old walk-in tub/shower. It's not easy to get in and out of the door because it's so small. Plus, the master bath smells slightly of sewer gas and needs to be painted. There weren't any instructions on how to work the TVs. Even though the washer looks brand new, the hostess sent me a message that it was broken the day before we arrived. She didn't expect the part to arrive until after we checked out. I will say the beds were comfortable, but the overall experience was disappointing.

Sorry about the inconvenience of the washer not working! These things happen. The walk in tub is an upgrade and not old.
