Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I'm genuinely sorry to hear that the living room and bedroom furnishings did not meet your expectations during your stay. I apologize for the discrepancy between the photos and the actual furniture provided. I understand how frustrating it must have been to find that the living room setup was not as pictured, and I regret that this impacted your comfort. We will be updating our photos and descriptions to ensure they accurately reflect the current setup, so future guests have a clear understanding of what to expect. Regarding the bedroom furnishings, I’m sorry that they were not adequate for your needs, especially when it came to providing space for essentials like your phone and CPAP machine. I appreciate your feedback, and I will be working on adding more functional furniture to improve the convenience and comfort in our bedrooms. Your comfort and satisfaction are important to us, and I hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. If there’s anything else I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying at our Fort Dupont home. We’re glad you enjoyed your trip and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the air conditioning being off upon your arrival — that’s not our standard, and we’ve reminded our turnover team to ensure the home is cooled to a comfortable temperature before each check-in. Regarding the kitchen items, it sounds like a few pieces have gone missing over recent stays. We’ve already restocked the silverware, mugs, and other essentials so future guests will have a full set. You’re correct that the home doesn’t have a traditional dining table — we do show the island setup in the listing photos and description, but we understand how this could be an inconvenience for guests who enjoy gathering for meals or games. We’ll take your note into consideration for future improvements. For the living room seating, we’ll look at adding more comfortable and flexible options to better accommodate larger groups. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts — guest feedback helps us make the home better, and we hope to welcome you back for an even more comfortable stay.

We're sorry to hear your stay did not meet expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the sump pump issue and the unannounced visit — that was not our intention, and we understand how that could be unsettling. We're currently reviewing the listing to ensure it accurately reflects the furnishings and amenities, including the futon in the living room. We’ve also taken note of your suggestions regarding kitchen supplies and storage solutions. While the home is not advertised as handicap accessible, we’ll take extra care to make the number of stairs and layout even clearer in our description. Thank you again for your comments — they help us improve the experience for all future guests.
