The cottage is cute and cozy. But it’s hot. It’s difficult to stay in the property between the hours of 12-4p. It was 80degrees outside. I would open the front door once the sun came out and it helped alot. As well as closing the curtains and blinds when I was out. The couch did not look dirty, maybe it got replaced? And the bath was draining well. Ant invasion sometimes in the bathroom, I think they liked my toothpaste but it wasn’t bad. Location is great, very close to everything. Ironing board is ancient and took me a while to figure out ;) but I was grateful that they had one. Iron is better than my own! Kitchen had everything I needed. There is a dog that barks alot but mostly when it hears someone walk by. But its still alot. And there are neighbors that live below the property. They weren’t too loud but I did wake up to screaming kids in their bedroom below at 7am on a Sunday. Bring ear plugs. Parking is great as it’s directly outside the property so easy to carry things in/out. I’d say the bed is medium firmness. The deck is fab and so many different birds to listen to. Communication wise; I had asked Faris a question about the property and then I was told to cancel my booking- which I didn’t. I thought that was off. He was nicer in his follow up communication. However, I was not given his number to communicate directly (a first for me as I’ve stayed in a lot of places) which I think is important should there be any emergencies. Other than that, it was great.
