Pros:
1. Beautiful view of the river and nice deck.
2. Excellently appointed kitchen with all kinds of tools, appliances, crockery and cutlery. It was a wonderful experience cooking there, comparable to our own homes!
3. Hot tub was fabulous and a great way to relax after the kids went to bed.
Cons:
1. Bedrooms upstairs don't have central heating and it was pretty cold, especially for the baby and toddler. As a result, we left a day earlier because our child had difficulty sleeping
2. We were told that the house was suitable for young children but we didn't find that to be the case - no high chairs (until we asked for one), baby gates, the rooms didn't have dark curtains or blinds, the bathrooms didn't have lined trash cans or even lids (we had to use trash bags from the kitchen to collect dirty diapers). The house was filled with items that unsupervised children could easily hurt themselves with
3. Peculiar placement of exterior camera watching the hot tub. Although the lid of the hot tub prevents the camera from capturing footage of people in the tub, it feels creepy to know that you could be watched taking off your robe and wearing your bathing suit. We've stayed at other places with hot tubs and have not experienced this
4. Host had multiple strange requests, including asking us to haul their trash cans from the street and then put them back out on the street, separate their white from colored bed linens and towels and run a load of laundry for them (beyond just stripping the bed, which is typical)
Overall, for the steep price, it didn't deliver the experience we were hoping for. For that price, we would have rather stayed at a premium hotel, which is what we will do next time.
