4/10
The home is spacious, well-decorated, and the beds were comfortable- there’s definitely potential here. However, several critical design flaws guests should know before booking:Noise concerns: What’s not mentioned in the listing is that this is a 3-unit home. We had other guests staying below us who complained about normal sounds—walking, pulling out a chair, etc. The hard floors and lack of insulation between units make it very easy to hear and be heard. We could hear casual conversations from the evening from the lower unit. And we didn't go on vacation to constantly quiet our kids! (6 bedroom place- kids are expected!)Security issue: The most serious concern—there is no lock between the basement unit and the main living area. The basement has 2 stair access points- first door only locks from one side, and the garage stair allows access from lower unit through garage into main livings space- no locks anywhere! Skylights in bedroom: The room with 3 queen beds has large skylights and no way to cover them. If you're planning to put younger kids to bed in there, expect it to stay bright until well after 10pm in summer months. This was a big challenge for us.Temperature imbalance: The HVAC system is shared across all levels, and it simply doesn't work. During our stay, the main level was 79F, the upstairs was 84F, while the basement was 60F. The lower unit was given space heaters and told to "deal with it" so the HVAC system could run to cool the upper levels.
