Hubbie and I really liked this property/location. Despite its lower level location, it was an end unit that allowed copious light and sun. Having a cafe table and chairs also allowed us to enjoy afternoon happy hours and watch/meet so many pleasant people as they walked by too! The layout was attractive and functional. Kitchen cute and oven/stove/microwave were great. We were able to cook all meals there, do laundry, rest on a comfy bed. Host is friendly. :-)
The ONLY reason for the 4 (vs 5) stars was the condition of the living room furniture. As a former design biz owner, I'd recommend some low-cost fixes that would make all the difference in the world for guests: 1. Slipcovers and new firm foam on the chairs. (Yes, firmer foam comes at a cost, but it's 100% worth it over time). 2. New thick and firm foam on hideabed couch as it sinks into the bed mechanism currently. Fabric on coach is perfectly fine, so it's just cut/wrap and insert. 3. Some cheap/fresh throw pillows every so often. (I was tempted to buy them as they are such an easy/happy little adjustment for everyone.)
Other minor items: Replace rack in freezer (as it is rusted) and provide basic liquid handsoap at each sink (keeps things neater than small bars offered).
We'd definitely stay here again - but hope that living room cushion issue can be fixed before our next stay.
