Nice home, only critiques are remote needed charging (We had a charger with us that worked). Game room, Ping pong ball was cracked and only 1 usable dart. Didn't bother us too much as we brought our own games to play. Overall great experience, great house.

Nice atay

Only downsides of the stay were the street in front of the property is rough, but to be expected since it was old brickwork, and the bed being way too soft (but that may be your taste).

Historic charmer

We don't like staying in hotels when there are other options so we were happy to find this property. It's an older home in a historic district with easy walkability to pubs, restaurants and entertainment. The 2 bedroom/ 2 bath home was perfect for 2 couples. The top floor has been fully updated and there is new paint throughout. It was very clean and the hosts were very responsive to questions. We loved our stay and would recommend!

Cute rehab with a terrible odor

There’s a lot of positives but the odor in the house made it difficult to comfortably spend time there.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 May, 2025
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the positives of your stay. We're truly sorry to hear that the scent of the cleaning supplies made it difficult to fully relax during your visit. We work hard to ensure the home is clean and welcoming for every guest, but we understand that scent sensitivity can vary. Based on your input, we are already reviewing our products and procedures to ensure a more neutral experience in the future. Your comments help us improve, and we appreciate you taking the time to share them.

Good stay

We had a good stay. The home is owned by 5 college students and they did a great job with it. The kitchen and half bath are not renovated yet but I have a feeling it will be happening. My kids enjoyed playing air hockey, ping pong and darts. There was plenty of space for everyone. The bathroom upstairs is nice and big. Plenty of hot water, good water pressure, nice fluffy towels. The bedrooms are large. The pillows were ultra soft. A little too soft for my husband and myself but my girls liked them. The bed was comfortable. My only complaint is the upstairs was very hot all night. We turned the thermostat to 68 downstairs but the upstairs remained low to mid 80s all night. It was very uncomfortable to try to sleep in a room that warm.

Cozy Home

Great home for a family. A few things to help improve it for the future: get some small drawers for both of the bedrooms. Even a few dresser drawers would have been great. There are closets, but only a few hangers and no dresser drawers. Having a hair dryer in the main bathroom would be a great addition. Also, the sink was very small counter space wise, so a small shelf in there would be a wonderful next step. The house did have a tub for our toddler, but no bath stop, so we purchased one. Overall, great stay! Our kids loved the "Harry apotter" room as they called it :) could be potential of theming that room up with some cots and the bean bag chairs and putting some themes decor in there and string some LED lights. The last day we left at 6am for our flight. Even though check out was at 3pm, the lock wouldnt let us back in, so that was weird. This house was great for our family. Thank you!
