At first glance, this place was as advertised. It’s an old house and, as such, has an old home smell. Unfortunately, it is also insulated and air conditioned like an old home. Our stay was in July and the AC simply could not keep up. It was quite warm in most parts of the house at any time of day.
The beds were perhaps the least comfortable we have ever had the displeasure of sleeping in. Firm is not a strong enough word to describe the mattresses. We are all going home with sore backs (including a very fit 18 year old athlete).
Our stay was during the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and hoped to watch the ceremony on the bedroom TV on the 1st night, but the tv did not work. In fairness, the host offered to have someone check it, but we declined thinking we would use the living room TV; however, on the last night of our stay we tried to watch TV and could not get any of the functions to work. Including cable and Smart Tv options. The Tv technology is ill considered and outdated.
Generally speaking, the home appeared clean and ready for us; however, the master bathroom rug had an obvious poop smudge on it. Gross.
It’s a great location, the yard was beautiful, the pool was great, and the owner was friendly and responsive. There are some clear upgrades that the owner should make prior to renting their home again.
