Short Summary:
Host Daisie was super hospitable, and the residence was sparkling clean, nicely decorated, and well-stocked with towels and TP. We very much enjoyed the porch and remodeled kitchen. However, the unit was dark and lacked sufficient lighting, residence did not feel private, adjoining garage was in use, some repairs were needed, and there was a lingering smoke odor. Pros vs Cons:
Pros:
Extremely clean
Modern kitchen, nice décor, beautiful porch
Super friendly owner
Plenty of info on local attractions in the unit
Quiet neighborhood minutes from Letchwood State Park
Pet friendly!
Cons:
Dark interior/lack of lamps that provided sufficient light
Smoke smell despite use of artificial fragrance from automatic dispenser – I’m allergic to both
Occupied driveway and downstairs unit were not disclosed on listing
Safety: Attached garage was in use, there was a large gap under the door to our unit, and the door could not be locked from our side, which made us feel vulnberable
Privacy: Owner’s in-person greeting and unprompted messages felt invasive
Screen door, toilet chain, and TP holder need repair
Sheets were worn, pillows seemed very old
Front step is very high and a trip hazard
No info on Wi-Fi code, trash/recycling information, and check-out procedures was left for guests
