Modern & cute updates of an old, worn duplex.
We enjoyed our stay in Landcaster.
The house fit our needs well. It had modern updates & cute decorations/furnishings. There were many conveniences & supplies offered. The hosts had great instructions & communication. They were readily available for any needs that came up.
There were only a few things that surprised us upon arrival. First off, the house is located off a VERY busy street. Literally across from a Target & Weed Dispensary. The street is full of restaurants, and stores. (This surprise was our fault, as we could have researched this ahead of time)
However, with the location…. The street traffic was noisy & nonstop. It could be heard all night. (Although, the hosts did provide noise machines in both bedrooms, which was helpful!)
In addition to the outside noise, the house is very old, so the exterior wall insulation is not great. The windows are old / drafty & the front door isn’t sealed well. (You could see daylight through it at the threshold) We also noticed multiple holes in the flooring. (From an old heating system?)
We wonder if the door/floor issues contributed to the house centipedes that would appear each night. —We did notice multiple pest prevention methods used by the hosts, which we appreciated!
Finally, there were areas on the walls / ceilings that showed past water damage. This included bubbling / peeling of the paint. There was also a mildew smell associated with that.
Again, our stay was overall positive, but these things surprised us.
