              • Ran out of toilet paper in one room. Notified host. Nothing was done.The shower in one of the rooms had a faulty handle for on/off/temperature. Notified host. Nothing was done.The dining room table is barely taller than the chairs so we could not properly sit at the table. We were constantly hitting our knees.There is construction very near to the house. The workers lurk all day long to grab your parking spots which forces you to frequently have to park blocks away. Not ideal for loading and unloading.I think the house might be haunted.
              • What a spectacular property! The management team was very responsive and accommodating. The house had everything we needed, it was in a great location, and we felt lucky to share a moment in time of this historic place. I’d love to stay again.
