We had a very comfortable stay. E we’re most impressed with how nicely every room was appointed. Very welcoming and enjoyable.
The location of the property was perfect for our needs. Very easy to get around the area and to our son’s boarding school. Communication w/ owners was excellent. Quick responses and kept us up-to-date with issues. We were traveling with in-laws, who have mobility issues. Entering property was easy to maneuver with walkers. It’s a first-floor rental all on one level, one of our criteria for renting. Check in - super easy. Owners notified us that the stove was being replaced, which was completed before we got there. We were not using it, so we had no issue with that. We were also informed that the second bathroom was being grouted and it would need to cure before using. Upon arrival, we learned that it would not be completed that day. We were ok w/ it as long as it was finished the next day. Needless to say, it was not completed, so we had 1 bathroom for 4 adults. Other issue was that the area was experiencing an unusual heat wave for October. They had actually removed the AC window units a few days prior so we had no AC. We arrived to a 75 degree apartment. It never cooled that night as it was so warm and humid outside. They did respond quickly and directed us to fans. The next day wasn’t better as it was 74. Sleeping with 1st floor windows open was unnerving but necessary to get any airflow. As these issues were 2 of my criteria, it was disappointing. Owner very responsive and offered partial refund. Lovely ppl. Would rent again if issues fixed. Very charming place!!
