Nice house

Nice house, very responsive host. House is very cozy and comfortable. Yard needs mowing and cleaning, back porch area needed to be cleaned up. Backyard was nice bonus.

Cute, comfortable, needs a little TLC

We stayed 4 nights. The living area was comfortable and bright. The kitchen was functional and beds/linens were good. The shared bathroom had a DIY barn door - it was cute but with gaps on the sides there was little privacy. Bathroom fan did not seem to work. Front steps into house need to be fixed - it was a big step up into the house. As the house summary states, there is someone living upstairs that you would hear on occasion -walking or coming down stairs to separate entrance but not a big deal. We did not use the shared deck as weather was not great Overall the house was cute, comfortable and the manager was a great communicator.
