The home is a in very convenient location however, I do not recommend staying. The front porch light was out. The couch had a cigarette burn and the tub would move when showering. We were told to park in the street, but overgrown bushes and trash cans in the street made that highly inconvenient. The home has a very cute aesthetic but is not properly maintained. Also, the main reason we booked this was for the hot tub and pool. It is a shared hot tub and pool which is not clear when looking at amenities (I thought I was looking at private homes). I left a night early and the host did mention I should’ve messaged sooner, but it’s not my responsibility to make sure their home is up to par.
