This stay was just okay. There were several issues through the stay and while the owner was very responsive, none of the issues were addressed during the stay. I’m hoping the feedback given will improve the next guests stay.

Nice home. Has the potential to be even better some of the renovated areas were incomplete. But overall it worked for what we needed it for and the hosts were attentive and communicated well!

Charles place was the perfect home away from away for our group of 7! The location is not too far from town, but far enough away so you’re not bothered by the downtown noise! We had a few hiccups but Charles was able to get everything resolved immediately! His response rate alone gets an A++! We would love to use his place again if we return!
