This was not a great experience for me, and I’ve stayed in quite a few Airbnb’s. First off, the smell when entering the house was awful. It was a combination of mildew and household cleansers. It did not mask the smell at all. We had to go out and buy a candle and open windows (and it was chilly outside) to try to get the smell out. The linen and towels were black, which looked very old.. The comforter in one of the rooms had a noticeable white stain on it that was very questionable. I was just very uncomfortable and unhappy with this property.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb! The home was beautiful, very spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. Everything was in place, and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and feel right at home. The neighborhood was lovely, quiet, and peaceful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. What impressed me most was the host’s outstanding hospitality and communication. Anytime I had a question or concern, he responded within minutes and was always attentive, courteous, and helpful. That level of customer service truly makes a difference! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, spacious home in a great neighborhood. As long as this particular home is available, it will always be my first choice when visiting the area. Regardless of where I need to be, I would gladly make the extra drive just to stay here again. The home and hospitality were absolutely worth it! Thank you for such a pleasant and memorable stay!
