Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was an outstanding building. Perfect for the occasion! Could not have asked for a better atmosphere and location. It is old, and you have to expect the charm and challenges of this age home. It was PERFECT!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Extremely Disappointing — Property Not as AdvertisedI’m leaving this review to help future guests make an informed decision. Unfortunately, this property was nothing like the listing photos. The pictures are deceptive, and the home appears to be in the middle of a remodel rather than a finished, guest-ready rental.The home was only partially furnished, with several basic items missing. What was listed as a “bed” turned out to be an air mattress, which is not acceptable for a rental property.Cleanliness was also a major issue. There were visible insects inside the home, and there were clear signs of rodents in the attic, which made the stay uncomfortable. The house was generally dirty and felt poorly maintained.Several essential amenities were non-functional. One shower didn’t work, and there were malfunctioning toilets. These are basic necessities, and their condition made the stay even more difficult.Overall, the property is in a noticeable state of disrepair and simply does not match the condition represented online. In my opinion, it should not be listed on this platform until the owners complete the remodeling and ensure it’s clean, furnished, and fully functional.
