Overall, this place was great. Very clean and comfortable. The host lives next door and was very helpful/responsive with questions, and even took extra time to help us get the outside heater set up (twice!) for an evening visit in the winter.
I would have appreciated more details in the listing, specifically about the fact that the yard is shared with the owners. We were surprised to be greeted by a dog and children playing in the backyard when we arrived and had friends come to visit us outside. This would be nice to know in normal circumstances, even if it's not a big deal, but during COVID this is essential information.
To their credit, they left the yard to us so we could visit safely with our friends. And our kids loved their sweet (and small) dog. So it all worked out. Just would have liked a heads up in advance. We still would have booked the place knowing this info, and it did not take away from our stay.
More details of a space on the listing would have been appreciated. Honestly, if there had been more options when we were looking, I would not have picked this place, simply because there wasn't much description.
The kitchen is a full kitchen, but it is very small. Because we were not eating out, cooking all our meals for 4 was a challenge. I did appreciate that all the basic appliances and cooking utensils were available, but we could have used a little bit more of everything for cooking and eating to accommodate that much cooking.
This kitchen is probably all anyone needs during normal vacations, since you're probably eating out and enjoying shows, etc.
It's perfectly located. I walked to the downtown plaza in only 15 minutes.
It was quiet and felt private. I never heard any noise from next door, so had no issues with the shared aspect, other than what I mentioned before.
Overall, great place I would recommend to others.
