This house has a great location and access to the river. The host was responsive and helpful. I am taking a star off because the amenities in the house were basic. There were not enough towels for 8 people, not a lot of utensils in the kitchen, there was mold around the AC ventsand the AC couldnt keep up and there were missing sheets for some of the beds.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the great location and river access, as well as our responsiveness, we truly appreciate it! We're sorry to hear that some of the amenities fell short of expectations. We’ve taken your comments seriously and are already working on improvements, addressing the AC performance and vent maintenance, and ensuring all beds are fully prepared, we were sad to see this items were not reported during your stay so we could have addressed them in real time. Your input helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again with an even better experience.

Great location!

Stayed the 1st weekend in September 2019. The house was a great size for a big group and the location was perfect. We could easily walk to several tube rental places. There was an issue with one of the toilets and they came and fixed it right away. Would stay here again.

Great stay!

We had 8 people including 4 children under 10 stay for a weekend and the house was great. The kids loved the riverfront access and the backyard. Only small complaint would be there was no tv or streaming box available, but there is WiFi, so bring a device if you want any live tv. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!
