Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
I want to be factually (not brutally) honest. When I read "historic" I knew this would likely be an older property. I had no problem with that This was far beyond just aged. There was mold on the ceilings in the front right bedroom as well as the vents The back bedroom downstairs had flies everywhere. The walls downstairs had the appearance of wood that had been u dewater.Cleaning was thorough..Amenities inside were adequate both upstairs. Internet connection was very sporadic.The owner was very nice. They allowed us in an hour early so we could get food and diabetic medicine refrigerated. The scheduler had flat refused early entry even after explaining the need to refrigerate.I would use this property again for the upstairs portion only.
