Disliked: Cleanliness
Great Location, but Needs Serious Cleaning and Maintenance
Pros: This property is located in the heart of Julian, providing easy access to the town's shopping and famous pie shops. The ample parking space on the lawn is a bonus.
Cons: However, cleanliness and maintenance were significant issues. Upon arrival, we noticed numerous cobwebs and spiders on the walls, windowsills, and in the corners. Multiple dead craneflies were hanging from the walls, picture frames, and scattered on the floor. The shower had a noticeable layer of dirt, indicating it had not been properly cleaned.
The bathroom setup was disappointing. The door is a "barn door with windows, and half a curtain" compromising privacy. It also has a curtain, but it didn’t provide sufficient coverage. Closing the door was difficult, forcing us to choose between having a shut door or maintaining privacy. We also found many spiders in the towels in the shower area. The sink in the bathroom is tiny, so plan accordingly if you want to use it for brushing teeth or washing hands.
Bed #1 is in the main room, the bunkbed is in the kitchen.
The kitchen had several issues. There was no dish soap provided, which is a basic necessity. Additionally, the area around the sink was plywood with peeling contact paper.
Overall, while the location of this property is fantastic, the numerous issues with cleanliness and maintenance detracted from our experience. With some improvements, this could be a great place to stay in Julian. As it stands, I cannot recommend it based on our experience.
