house was clean and ready for us. It is perfect for two people in a quiet neighborhood. Had a little trouble with the electronic door lock because of low battery but it was reconciled very promptly.
This Chesapeake City house is in a very quiet neighborhood, plenty of room, plenty of parking, comfortable, and very affordable. Michelle was very pleasant and always available. Highly recommend!

Nice place
The place overall is very simple and nice. The bed was a little uncomfortable And decided to not stay the extra night and come home and use my own bed. Overall, very clean very nice.
The location so close to the C&D canal was perfect. Loved the CocaCola themed kitchen, which was stocked with all dishes and appliances we needed.
Our biggest concern were the errors in the VRBO listing, which included washer and dryer on site, but those have since been corrected. Due to the history of the building, the ceiling was not well sound-proofed and every moment of the upstairs tenant could be heard, but I’m not sure that could be corrected. After a while, we didn’t even notice it.

Feedback
The place was very nice but if we had not asked the 2nd floor tenant for owners phone number we would have not been able to get into the unit until Thursday when our check in was Wednesday.
Definitely the Vrbo site needs to update the website. There was not a washer or dryer.
We appreciated being able to stay a few hours later due to the delayed check in
The property was clean and simply appointed w just the bare essentials for a short stay. Location was convenient for our purposes and the host was communicative
Nice place near Schaeffers if you have an event or need extra space as you can walk on down.

Lovely apartment, difficult check-in
The apartment was clean, comfortable, and convenient. No complaints at all. However, check in was a problem. The code that we were given did not work, and I could not contact the host because she did not give me her contact information. Meanwhile, our friends were waiting dinner for us (crab!!!). I finally managed to contact the cleaner of the apartment, and she gave me the cleaners' code to get in. We returned to the apt, only to find that it was occupied! Thank goodness they were not there at the time. We went back to our friends' home and had dinner. The host then contacted me and stated that the people who were supposed to check into the upstairs apt got into ours instead. This concerned me and made me wonder if both apts had the same code. The host stated that we could move into the upstairs apartment, but by then it was too late and we stayed with our friends. The next day, the host sent me a new code. We went back to the apt, but the code did not work, so I used the clearner code. Just out of curiosity, I tried the code on the upstairs apt and it worked. This was disturbing to say the least. Finally the host came to the apt, changed the code,tested it to make sure that it worked, and assured me that it was a unique code. The host agreed to refund the cost of the first night, which I was grateful for. My advice is to make sure you have the host's contact information on hand in case of problems.
