8/10 Good

This is a really beautiful cottage in a super-charming and quiet neighborhood that's great for walking - especially with so many spring blooms! The house is well-equipped and feels comfortable. The living spaces and master BR are very spacious while the twin room feels a bit small. The furniture is feeling a bit worn and the twin beds were a bit squeaky and soft for our teenage boys. The outdoor areas need a good cleaning - I know it's pollen season, but there was a year or more worth of grime built up on the back porch. We had to wipe the porch swing off just to sit and didn't even bother with the back porch. The back yard in general needs some tending. We didn't get check-in instructions until just a couple of hours before check-in, and only after I sent a couple of messages to inquire. I'm accustomed to getting those instructions proactively from property managers 24 hours or more before check-in. We were allowed to check in a little early which was appreciated, but when we arrived we heard crazy noises under the floor. We poked around and found that a repair person was under the house working on the AC which was apparently not working. A heads up about this would've been appreciated.Despite the hiccups, we really loved our couple of nights here and would absolutely stay again.
