Our stay was disappointing in many ways. PROS: house was clean; ensuite Master Bedroom second floor had been renovated and was most bright and comfortable room in house; bedding and towels were fresh and clean; patio was pleasant; neighborhood quiet; many small conveniences appreciated (hooks, towel bars, well-equipped kitchen, etc.). CONS: viewing online photos, we six friends were expecting a bright and cheerful interior, but photos must be enhanced because most of rooms were much darker in person; we were expecting five usable bedrooms but BE AWARE 5th bedroom on third floor (attic, no bathroom) is up a flight of steep steps & was uncomfortably hot when we went in mid-May. (No A/C in the house, which we knew beforehand.) Unable to use that room, one of us slept on a 4" thick/3-fold ‘mattress’ placed on living room sofa. Internet very spotty. Called host and several pleasant people talked us through trouble-shooting but with minimal success over 2-night stay. Oven cooktop did not have light or it was broken. Dishwasher’s soap dispenser door did not open during operation, giving only hot rinse. Ice maker in fridge did not work. Garbage disposal did not work. SAFETY ISSUES: no railings on steep steps at front of house, nor at back entrance (door with code entry code box). To access the patio, one must navigate higher (12”+) than normal step, again with no railing. Although communications with VRBO and AVANTSTAY were prompt and cordial, we would not stay at Cordelia again.
