Urban Cottage: Homey & Convenient

Good

Great stay

Place was clean! Communication with host was great! Got a chance to see dear grazing in the back yard. Very different when you come from the city. Nice view.

I hate to leave a negative review because the host was amazing! He/she responded very quickly to messages. When we didnt have dishcloths or dish towels he came first thing in the morning with dish towels. Positives: 1. Great host2. Nice living room area3. Nice dining room area4. Had plenty of towels and washcloths for bathroom (although some were tattered)5. Had laundry detergent and shampoo/conditioner6. Great water pressure (although tub drain needs draino or snaked)Negatives: 1. Beds were very hard. Nobody slept well. 2. House had a bad odor. Maybe from the old, stained carpet in bedrooms? Couldnt even open closet in one bedroom because smelled so bad. I have a strong sense of smell so this really bothered me. My mom also said it smelled bad though and she has an average sniffer. 3. Infested with ants. We didnt see any until my mom left out a closed container of honey. It must have had a little honey on the lid. They swarmed the kitchen, like nothing either of us have ever seen. Wasnt just a handful of ants. The Host did say he would mitigate when I informed him. 4. There were like 4 or 5 forks and spoons (which didnt matter after the ant incident because we didnt eat in the house at all after that). Overall, I wouldnt stay here again, but appreciate their attempts to make it nice.

Quick trip to visit family and the home was spacious and met our needs. Location worked great for us!
