We had a wonderful stay at 93 Optical street. The house was clean and well presented. It was equipped with everything we needed plus more. It was comfortable and very pleasant surroundings. I’m so pleased we chose this property and would definitely book it again.

House was very clean and comfortable. The open kitchen to living room was as great for a weekend trip with family to hang out and relax in. Host was also very responsive and helpful when needed. Perfect location, right in the town of Geneva and close to everything you could need.

Overall, the property was as advertised and was nice. However, there were some small stuff that should be corrected. The lawn should be mowed, the coffeemaker replaced as it does not like pods, the hand mixer replaced as at does not work and the debris outside at the back let corner of the house cleaned up. We realize that the upstairs bathroom is built to code as it has a window but there should be a vent installed to get rid of the moisture. Or maybe install a mirror that doesn't fog up. With that said, I would recommend the house.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the property to be as advertised and that you would recommend the home. We appreciate you bringing these maintenance items to our attention. However, none of these concerns were reported to us during your stay, so unfortunately, we weren't given the opportunity to address them while you were at the property. Had we been notified, we would have gladly sent someone to mow the lawn, replace the coffee maker or hand mixer if needed, and inspect the debris outside. We also appreciate your comments regarding the upstairs bathroom. The home was built in accordance with applicable building codes, but we will certainly take your suggestions into consideration as we continue to improve the property. Thank you again for your feedback. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
