I wish I could upload pictures this place had hair on the bed stained pillowcases disgusting basement and very dirty washer inside and out so that explains the stained bedding and hair! Dirty shower doors didn’t close properly in the house! Things were just dirty and dusty not cleaned well at all and trash left in bins! I contacted host and got AI generated responses. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

Stayed here during a snowstorm and was absolutely comfortable. Place is as listed, nice little kitchen to cook some meals in. Joseph was very helpful and responsive. Neighborhood was peaceful, there was a nice little strip of bars and restaurants just a few minutes walk. Would stay here again and I’d recommend it others!
