Luxurious Historic 4 level home in St Elmo

Luxurious Historic 4 level home in St Elmo

8/10 Good
"The home was unique, large and beautiful in a great location, but it had a lot of cleanliness opportunities especially for the price paid and the host didn’t respond to my feedback. The cleanliness concerns were numerous with the worst being the lipstick stains, numerous hairs, mildew stains and unknown dust? on ALL of the bed linens. There were many cobwebs on all windows and interior corners, the outdoor furniture was dirty and you could tell these areas hadn’t been cleaned in a while. It takes a lot for me to say anything negative but for the price paid we excepted better for such an otherwise lovely home. And we also expected a response when sharing our feedback. We weren’t able to cool down the attic sleep area to a comfortable temperature while we were there in case anyone needs that for a sleeping area. Otherwise the location is excellent, it’s a unique historic home that has plenty of space, and we would have returned if not for the cleanliness concerns."
