Positive
• Clean
• Host available, friendly. Even gave my wife fresh-cut flowers.
• Host was flexible when unanticipated additional guests showed up. (We were in town for a funeral.)
• Full kitchen
• Three bedrooms, two “living rooms”.
• Washer/dryer (new)
• Smoke and CO detectors
Neutral – Not negative, just information
• Old New England 2-family home (build circa 1900) and build in that style.
• Floors have settled and are wavy and creaky
• Adequate parking
• Close to the old town center with the town green and shops. Quaint and accessible but some (not bad) traffic.
• Consistent with old New England homes, electrical outlets are sparse and extension cords and power straps are used. Host said the electrical system in house had been updated to modern standards but that the update did not include additional outlets.
• Furnishings and décor are very eclectic.
• 2nd floor walk-up. This is in the property description and was known at booking.
Negatives
• Steep stairs. We are at or near 70 years of age and it was not a real issue for us. However, if you have weak legs or knees or other mobility issues it could be an issue, especially when making multiple trips with luggage or groceries. Our host, Jim, did graciously help with carrying luggage up the stairs and offered to again help after we had gone grocery shopping.
Would I recommend?: Yes, if you are accepting of the nuances and character of the property.
