Pros: safe neighborhood (although the neighborhood lacks curb appeal, it felt safe), clean and comfortable home, fast and friendly responses from owner, newly renovated, many amenities, plenty of space for many guests, easy check in/check out with instructions provided, close to many shops and restaurants. We enjoyed being able to stay together in a home as opposed to having to rent multiple hotel rooms. The kitchen/living room/dining room are open and it was fun to hang out together making meals and playing games.
Cons: The biggest problem was that the ladies in one room got no sleep the first night due to a loud rattling/banging in their window. When we investigated why it had been so noisy, we found the screen was barely in the window frame, it was ripped, the window itself was cracked, and there was no way to even lock the window at all. The owner was notified and came by to take a look. He said he would have that window fixed by his contractor after we checked out. We were able to remove the ripped screen from the frame, which resolved the rattling/banging noise.
Other notes: although it's been newly renovated, some things are not quite finished. The bathroom outlet pulls out of the wall whenever you unplug from it; the shower on the main floor has a shower head so low that we had to crouch on our knees to wash our hair; and the basement ceiling has some stains (likely water or mold) that are (not well) concealed by a thin layer of paint. I think this will be a fine place once it is fully finished, but as they say: the devil is in the details.
