Nice getaway
Overall the property was very well taken care of and very neat. It was really clean and didn’t have any funky smells. Beds were comfortable and so were the pillows.The host was nice when we did need to reach out. The reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I felt like we were charged for any little thing - early check in is based per hour early of check in and cost us an additional 75. We were 5 hours away so to enjoy the day to the fullest extent we needed to be able to arrive early - I’ve never had a host charge like that for early check in especially with no one having been there the night before! Additionally, the people above us were very very loud all hours up until 1-2am. Keeping us all awake and we had small children. I understand the host can’t control that but it sucks no one could be contacted during the stay to rectify the problem.Check out being 10 am and being kept up all night until about 2am is really hard - should consider extending that some to maybe even 11 like hotels. Overall it was a nice stay but I can’t say we will stay again.
