The property on the ground floor has been very nicely done. There are however, several issues that older individuals need to be aware of. Top of the list for all potential visitors is that the house is a no shoes location. The owner is near fanatical about this issue. With each communication with him, even though early on we assured him that we would honor the no shoes request, he would in an accusatory way question our adherence to the no shoes request. The following are concerns for older guests:1. There are no hand railings on the stairs to the second floor, which are rather steep.2. The hand railings on the steps leading to the front door were not secure and the wood was splintery.3. There was not light on the staircase leading to the second floor.4. The thermostat for the heat is a very new tech system with no written instructions on how to operate. Each evening we had to call the owner to raise the heat to 70. He was able to do so remotely, and did so after each call. However, with the last request he asked if we could do it ourselves, which we would gladly have done if we could have figured out how to work the system. 5. Though the kitchen had some nice cook ware, there was no microwave nor a kettle to heat water.6. There is a very small table in the kitchen, barely accommodating 2 and that is the only table available for sitting and eating.The owner has made some lovely upgrades to the house, the bathrooms were exceptional.
