Not so private
I’m going to be honest in my review because I chose this place based on reviews, and I’m disappointed. I quite honestly don’t understand how no one mentioned the noise of sharing a house with the owners and complete lack of privacy. I felt like I was in that Vrbo commercial. The “private” apartment was nice and clean. The bed was comfy. Water pressure immaculate. Unfortunately the owners are constantly around and making noise. I didn’t realize this was a shared property when I booked it, so that’s on me. But not only that, you share a wall with their side of the house and you can hear them talking and slamming doors, and even smell what they’re cooking. We’re a couple in our 40s who just wanted to escape the cold up north and chill out for a week. On day one they texted me to make sure everything was good. I said yes and then fell back to sleep only to be woken up by them banging on the door an hour later unannounced. I had to wrap myself in a blanket to answer the door because I wasn’t wearing pants. I said “just a minute!” in a daze and they kept pounding on the door. All to ask if I’m good. I said yes, nice to meet you—and that set the tone for the rest of the week. One ply toilet paper, no laundry, and multiple banging on the door incidents when a text would’ve sufficed. We are low maintenance and wanted a carefree vacation and this fell short. It is not a “private apartment.”
