Nice property but no a/c. Not enough towels but we discovered there were some in the dryer when we arrived. Appreciated the fans in the rooms.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Pros: location is everything here at this home. Friendly and helpful host. We visited during summer and the property does not have AC and I asked for more working fans to be delivered and the host got them to us, which was of course wonderful! Cons: the house is a bit outdated and drainage smell needs to be addressed from sinks and showers. One bathroom does not have windows so it was hard to ventilate.I think it’s a good for resting your head while spending time in SB!
