Classic 1910 Tudor Apartment

Our guests Rick and Cher, were 10 star guests; immensely thoughtful and considerate..clean and quiet! They took immaculate care of the apartment and were gracious and a great pleasure to host..

Once in a while we have an EXTRAORDINARY guest, even after years of welcoming many...we appreciate all for different reasons, but someone like Hunter is such a rare and wonderful experience....he is a classic GENTLEMAN; immensely thoughtful and an excellent communicator. When he departed from his stay, the apartment was immaculate, so clean and tidy. There are not sufficiently descriptive accolades to describe this very special man; if Hunter books with any host reading this praise, that host will undoubtedly echo and confirm my words!

Thank you Nathan, it was a wondeerful pleasure to host such a thoughtful guest as you! Your thoughtfulness in leaving the apartment so neat and clean upon departure was so very much appreciated....hope you come again...

So rare to have such a WONDERFUL guest! So thoughtful, appreciative and considerate.....thank you for staying with us Carrie...we look forward so much to your return...with warmest thoughts, Jon and Gail

Such a pleasure to host such a wonderful, thoughtful and considerate guest as Jennifer

Of course I am very disappointed that our guests had a negative experience and wish to respond to clarify a few things. The house is a 1910 Tudor originally intended as a single family residence, therefore, it is not insulated in a way that prevents floor noise. The 4 guests in the 2 bedroom apartment above also were asked to not wear shoes so that noise is minimized; but there were 2 teen-age girls who possibly may have been energetic in walking around and I am so sorry for this inconvenience to the guests below. Our local phone number is clearly provided and guests are firmly encouraged to call us should any problem or concern occur; if Kent or his wife had called and let us know what was happening, we would have immediately communicated with the guests above them, but we were never told until now. When Kent and his wife departed, and I went in to clean and gather linens, I was somewhat surprised at the condition of the apartment, as it was untidy and chairs moved around in the living room, food remnants on the floor. Towels were around the floor in the bathroom and a pile of sheets on the bedroom floor. It looked as if there were more than 2 people staying there. In the closest on a shelf are 2 clean folded sheets, a blanket and pillow provided should a guest choose to sleep on the couch, but Kent had gotten a chair and looked on the highest shelf of the closet where the clean extra linens are stored. Pillowcases were spilled out and the linens gone through. This was such a surprise to me as we have never had guests do this before. The bedroom was quite disheveled and therefore it took a few moments before I noticed that paint was scraped off the wall in two places and the finish of a small upholstered wood bench also scraped. When I asked Kent if this may have happened, not accusing, simply asking him a question, he replied that he had put the large suitcase on it and did not realize this may have happened. In our experience with the other main booking site and now VRBO, I have never written a negative review of a guest as I know that many people live in different ways and this is the nature of hosting guests. I am responding now to this review to explain that the condition of the apartment and the things that I have mentioned, caused me to believe that there were more than 2 guests in the apartment and I had definite concerns, however, I am very sorry for the unhappy experience of Kent and his wife.
