We enjoyed the convenience of the location. Ample parking for two cars. I would not recommend this location for anyone with mobility issues. As it is on an incline. The home was clean and supplied with everything one may need to cook a meal. Chloe was quick to respond. She truly wants her guests to enjoy their stay and come back again.

Dangerous requesting refund

Entrance 3 dangerous steps to door. One side railing only which was loose. In order to drop off my mom I had to put hazard lights on my car. This was at the suggestion of the property owner when I said that the front was on major road with blind curve. I could not stay other than the first night as we arrived late. I informed the owner. Also the house was extremely cold. The thermostat was outside but n the basement which did not work properly. My elderly mom was overwhelmed with dangerous entrance. I had to walk outside down the house. There was a door which I thought was the basement. I kept trying my key for some time when suddenly a lady with bloody scars on her face opened the door. Shocked I apologized and said I was looking for the thermostat. So this was a horrible and dangerous nightmare. I call and messaged the owner demanding a refund for the remaining 2 nights.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness

Spacious but poor location

The fact that it is in downtown is great, the exact location is very poor as it sits as the lone residence on a block of run down commercial buildings. The home is on a curve with limited sight lines, so it is difficult entering and exiting the driveway as traffic takes the curve quickly. This is not comforting for an elderly couple. The driveway is steep for an older person who is slightly disabled, as it is a steep walk and there is no sidewalk at the front door side of the building. The second entrance is a flight of stairs at the rear of the property going up to the second floor, also not easy for someone who is impaired. The home was built in 1940 but the interior is up-to-date, very spacious and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, with the exception of the fact that one was initially unable to control the temperature as the thermostat is in the laundry room downstairs and controls both units. Host made accomodations for this. but it would have been nice to know in advance. There is a regular stream of single males using the driveway as a shortcut to Main Street, apparently from and to a local grocery store, not comforting. The ad gives an impression of a grassy backyard, but there is only a gravel alleyway between the home and the rear of a commercial building. The interior is quiet and comfortable but the location of the property is unacceptable. We would not book here again.

House in Franklin

We had a ball in town and visiting family locally. The House was in a great location to that. Short walks to restaurants in town and to a great park for out dogs. Communication with the owner was easy, prompt and helpful. We really felt at home even though we were there for a short time. Wonderful town, wonderful rental.

House was convenient to town. Chloe was accessible to help with some initial problems. Property could use some cosmetic improvements (torn curtains, broken blinds, e.g.) Icemaker was not working, so some ice trays to make ice would help.
