It’s old buildings so not of charm but very musty, house keeper no good (Soap residue leftover in bathroom, lots of dust, unfolded towels). Broken blinds. Very clean and cozy bed.

We really liked the house and atmosphere. "Staff and Service" rating is because there was absolutely no contact with anyone. Very impersonal!! What bothered us the most was the lack of security. I assumed the door codes were changed regularly. Apparently not, as the information binder in the room had both codes. Anyone who stayed here in the paste would have both codes with access to our room at any time. There was not even a deadbolt on the inside to secure during the night.

Weekend Stay
We spent a couple's weekend in Mount Dora using The Estates at Mount Dora for our lodging. The room was clean and comfortable with upgraded linens and towels. Extra large shower with rain-shower head and wand. Mount Dora has a free transportation service and this property is inside it's arra of service. This makes transportation to the heart of shops and restaurants a breeze.

We enjoyed being able to walk to everything, it was .6 miles to town. The room was clean and the owner checked in frequently on us. They had a couple good restaurants nearby. We enjoyed Jeremiah.

Only downside is that the floors for the second floor make the room on the first floor very loud even if just walking casually.

Robert

Liked: Cleanliness
There is no staff. Everything is done remotely. The room was smaller than the pictures, and had a musty smell that was so bothersome that we only stayed for the first of a scheduled two day prepaid stay. Also, it's much further from downtown than it looks, which could be a difficult walk for older guests. Driving downtown would be a problem during the weekends when downtown parking is difficult to find.

The grounds are well cared for with a gazebo too. A short walk to a breakfast restaurant. A short drive to downtown for shops and restaurants. The accommodation was clean and comfortable.

A bit over priced , I wouldn't stay there again.
The room was clean and neat but the layout was odd. There is no door on the kitchen and the refrigerator was noisy all night, bathroom was a little tight and we also shared a balcony with another room. The online pre check-in and access was far more complicated than it needs to be. Threatening to charge if a guest takes any items (coffee, saop, sugar,etc.) was not very welcoming.
