Bon potentiel, mais trop humide
Communication avec l'hôte impossible : Juste des messages automatiques. Aucune coordonnée pour le joindre. Nous n'avons pas vu de BBQ sur place et pas d'information à ce sujet Pas de ciseau, pas de sel et poivre. Tapis qui garde les odeurs et apparemment très humide.

Pictures are misleading.
The sleeping arrangements were terrible. The bed in the pictures online did nor exist. All thete was was a bed frame with a mattress thrown over it. You could not lay on it because you would fall on floor. After complaining the 2nd night the management company brought plywood in and put on frame. Better but not right. I blame the management company for not keeping up with the maintenance of this home. Also, there were two doors missing off the bottom kitchen cabinets. The home and location were beautiful, but the owners need to hire a new management company.

This is a beautiful home, very clean and spacious! The bed was terrible!!!! Needs replaced!
The only issue we had was the bed. It had no support, we had to fix the slats before we could use it, it sqeeked and shook everytime we moved.

Nice location; easy check in
Nice location; very clean rental.
Very happy with the apartment and the outdoors space.
Check in was also very easy
One thing to know is that as a basement rental, there is definitely noise from owners that live upstairs: footsteps, conversation, stereo/music. etc. Likely unavoidable.
Again, very happy overall

Comfortable
We felt comfortable and felt like we had a "home" to come back to after our day of adventures.
Only rated cleanliness low because there seems to be a mold issue that needs to be taken care of.

Noises
All in all it was a nice place to stay. It was hot tho and no fans or AC was accessible. The biggest complaint would be the noise. After reading the concern with us being noisy inwas expecting the same from the owners. It was loud until later at night and then at random times throughout the night.. Everything else was fine.
