Make sure to ask before you book
This Victorian appears to be a really neat place to stay, but you need to ask some details before you stay.
Light fixtures seem to be an attempt to share authentic fixtures, but only one bulb lit in the two fixtures on the main level. The dining room fixture was not connected to the switch on the wall, but we learned that there must have been a button near the kitchen that was the control.
The plumbing was challenging. When we used the toilet on the main level, it did not flush and we had to pour water in the tank with every use. It is nice that they have one bathroom attached to each bedroom upstairs, but it was a bit ridiculous in one room to find the shower in what used to be a closet, & then to find a toilet in that same space. We had to move the toilet paper when using the shower & clean up the toilet after every shower. In all situations, the water took several minutes to warm up.
This home is not easy for people who have difficulty with stairs. I don't recall seeing anything that mentioned the bedrooms were only accessible by using the staircase, which was difficult for one of our guests to navigate. The steps from the front porch were also a challenge for everyone, as they are falling apart.
Found lots of bugs and months of dust under the bed when plugging in a device.
Did not bring these to the owners attention because I was only able to be there one night. She was prompt to reply, but made it seem that all of this was acceptable.
