The things that were awesome about this Vrbo rental include awesome water pressure (and ample HOT WATER) in the shower, comfortable beds with extra blankets available if needed, plenty of towels, roomy bedrooms (space for luggage!), and an updated and adequately stocked kitchen. The house is … historical? I loved the wood floors and the interesting architecture of the older home. The host communicated well and often.Two aspects of our experience form the reason for giving only 3 stars when so many things about the house were positive. First is the furniture in the gathering spaces (living room/dining area). There was only one large piece of furniture for seating in the living room. I suppose it could fit 4 bodies if we were all lined up, but it would be weird, and not conducive to conversation. The stools at the dining table were okay for quick meals, but they were essentially the only group seating options, and they were a bit stiff and uncomfortable after any length of time. So, adding more furniture so guests can hang out together comfortably would easily turn this into a 5-star experience!The other issue we encountered was relatively minor, and very likely a one-off kind of thing. We could not get the electronic door lock to work. I believe the host said there was a recent software update or something like that. There was a contingency plan already in place - a lock box on the door containing a house key.I appreciated free parking (it’s residential).

Property was clean and provided basic necessities for a home stay. Listing had some conflicting information about the check in process which had to be cleared up with the owner but no issues checking in. Area around the property was a little sketchy and on the edge of a “transitioning neighborhood” but I didn’t feel unsafe during the day.

Place was really nice and cozy. The neighborhood was not well lit but didn’t have any problems. I had my 2024 Jeep Wrangler parked down the street and had to walk to the house. We stayed for the Fourth of July so there was some fireworks going off. Neighbors were nice to give the greeting of the day and night.
