  3/5

  Greetings!The sole/entire purpose of this review is to be helpful to prospective guests, first, and then for provide some considerations for the property owners/management.Pros- Super cute place, with minimalist layout, furnishings, décor; we really liked that- Really comfortable beds—at least the beds we used- Quiet neighborhood- Contacts for the property are really accessible, attentive, and receptive- Long driveway allows for plenty of off-street parking- This is a bit of any odd ‘pro,’ but despite the fact that there is only one bathroom in the property, we really liked the shower! Lol- Simple and straightforward check-out instructions, which we followed to the letterCons- Despite how clean the property looked, we did notice some minor things (cobwebs {along the ceiling in front bedroom}; splash stains/dust on bathroom mirrors {not permanent flaws in the mirrors that make them look speckled} …)- Not enough comfortable seating in living-room space to kinda gather ‘round for a movie or whatever; insufficient lighting in that space; and narrow curtains compromise privacy- No *extra* anything: o Exactly one towel provided for each guest. If, for whatever reason, we needed any extra, we would have been out of luck. o No extra linens/blankets, throws; no iron, ironing board … very, very few clothes hangers (about two per closet); only a closet shelf in the two single-bed rooms for folded clothing/no bedroom drawer storage; in the room with two beds, I don’t think there was a closet at all but, rather, a really small bookshelf-type piece? o No 'welcome basket'—now, to be fair, this is *not a must,* but considering the one fridge was completely empty and does not have a water-dispensing feature, it really would have been nice to at least have some bottled waters to get us started until we could get to the grocers. o The biggest surprise/disappointment is that, despite a washer/dryer being listed among the amenities, no such appliances are *accessible/available to the guests.* They were locked away, apparently meant for management’s use *only* to turn-over prop. for next visit.We are hoping this review will both help guests manage expectations & owners/managers anticipate/accommodate a wider range of guests’ needs, making the next group's stay a bit more comfortable & convenient. Thank you ... and Cheers!
