    Location. No livingroom. Heating controlled by owner and not tenant. Some parts of the home was extremely cold. Missing wine opener. Fridge and freezer were not open and waited a whole day before fridge was cold. Too many rules and regulations. I understand if your renting to teenagers but adults don’t need to be bombarded by rules and times to be quiet and not make noise while we get woken up by the extreme traffic on busy road right in front of home !

    The amount of beds there are to accommodate my family

    Had to clean some of the glassware 2-3 times to remove dirt. Doors are self-closing in every room including the kitchen and living room. It felt awkward. The living room had a daybed in it. Some of the rooms had no heat due to the self-closing doors. There were no side tables near the beds so my phone had to charge on the floor at night. The parking instructions are strange. One must back in spaces. The driveway is awkward, filled with large stones we tripped over. It is also uneven and our car bottomed out while trying to park according to instructions. They drained the hottub about halfway through our stay with no notice. They also charge an extra $50/day if you want to use the hot tub but It was not mentioned in the description or anywhere we could see. Later they informed us it is in their profile info. While it may be close to the city, the location doesn't have much around. We had to drive to find restaurants that were open later in the evening. The heat has no control in some of the rooms so you are stuck with whatever they are set at. My room was too warm but they also request you do not open windows.

    Enough space for us.

    I disliked everything about this property. We arrived at this property around 10 pm on Sunday night, and when we left Mondaymorningwe did not go back, but had to pay for the entire week. You have to drive down an alley to get to the parking for this property, and there are no signs to let you know if it's the right one. I walked to the front door, and upon entering the property, I smelled smoke that was coming from the bedroom immediately to the right. I walked thru the house, and I noticed several things, and I notified the host immediately. There were 6 beds in the home, but only 2 of the beds were made, the room that smelled like smoke and a bedroom upstairs. One of the bedroom upstairs was configured strangely. There was a bed when you opened the door and behind the bed was a slanted wall where there was another bed. This room had 5 windows, and only one could open, but it didn't lock. My young adult walked innthe room that smelled like smoke and had problems breathing to the point we didn't get to move into the dorms due to having to have a breathing treatment. I broke out in hives from something, and I'm not sure what. I notified the host of all of the things that were occurring and asked if I could pay for one night and leave. They told me I could, but I wouldn't get a refund for the other 6 nights. I understand their cancelation policy. I feel like since I couldn't stay at the property due to my young adult breathing issues from the smoke that I should not be made to pay for an entire week. This was the worst experience I have ever had and will never book with this host again.

    Misleading Listing – Unsafe, Uncomfortable, and Poorly Managed

    This property is nothing like the pictures. It felt more like a trap than a rental. The house is cluttered with an overwhelming number of doors, which creates a very unsettling and insecure environment. There were “rules” and threatening notes posted everywhere, making it feel more like a prison than a vacation rental. The worst part? My car was damaged overnight while parked on the property. There are no security cameras, and the host takes zero responsibility. I was left to deal with a hit-and-run and only had the police report to show for it. If you care about your safety, peace of mind, and money – avoid this listing. Booking.com should investigate this host for false advertising and failure to provide a secure environment.

    Strange business practices from owner, uncomfortable beds, dirty dishes & more

    Owner pressured us to send a deposit outside of booking via paypal prior to us ever seeing the property and without knowing him. Never had someone force me to send money in addition to what has already been paid on booking. One of the reasons we picked this place was the fact that we could prepare meals there, but almost all the dishes were so extremely dirty and sticky that it was not possible to use them. We ended up buying plastic cutlery and not preparing any meals here. It was not one plate that was sticky, but literally everything from pots to forks. The beds were all very uncomfortable, with the cheapest „mattresses“ you can find. Also, owner charges extra for a hot tub and you will also have to pay before arrival. Don‘t do it, it‘s not worth it because it‘s basically on a parking lot behind the house, observed by the landlord through a camera

    Lots of space, good connection to the city

    l did like it

    Truly enjoyed my stay here with my family. A nice sized house with still an intimate and at home setting. Was able to comfortably accommodate me and my family visiting. There were 8 of us total and we were more than happy. The place is clean, the parking is huge definitely fits more than 5 cars! We could cook our own food, there was everything we needed in the kitchen. We liked there area on the first floor, the TV doesn’t have cable, but has Netflix and other apps which was perfectly fine with us! There are additional charges as stated on the description, for deposit and hot tub etc. The house was nice and warm, just let the host know what temperature you like and it can be adjusted per room which is really cool.

    I felt that the owner was impolite and had a lot of hidden fees, and it almost felt like we were inconveniencing the owner while being there as it seemed, he had other stuff going on at the property
