The good: Sleeps 12 with air bed, beautifully and fully furnished, carefully curated. Owner responds quickly and allowed us a flexible checkin and checkout. The large laundry room counter was helpful as bridesmaids built their bouquets for my daughter's wedding.
The bad: My normally agile husband fell off the bottom rung of the staircase in low light due to the optical illusion created by the oversized rug at the base. The last step blends with the floor (even in good light), and the placement of the rug makes it appear that you've arrived on the ground floor one step early. Others of our party noticed that optical illusion,
and it's scary if you're carrying a baby. My husband and I also tripped over the corner protrusion of the bottom staircase rung where it wrapped around the newel post. I started placing my handbag there as a visual reminder of that protrusion. Several members slipped on the dry but highly polished master bath hardwood floor, both in bare feet and sock feet. Upstairs attic closet has a step up, so don't forget about that surprise drop on the way out. I stayed in the twin bed room, but the antique reproduction tub was dangerous for me in my current physical condition, so I showered in another bath. Owner's concern for their pillow shams, counter tops, and hardwood floors contrasted with a toilet paper supply of one-ply paper. Even the two bidets couldn't make up for that. There is more parking than the owner claimed,
but she didn't want any extra people to come over and have a rehearsal dinner at the house, as that constitutes a
party. Security/manager will come over to make sure you're not having a party or exceeding 12 guests. The extravagant decor alone costs more than my 4br home, which I was so relieved to return to.
