Things we liked:
- the space and environments of the house
- the condominium (safe, calm, with playground and tennis court)
- the location of the house:
-- access to a Publix 5min away
-- access to department stores (JCPenney, Staples, Target, Best Buy and others) 15 minutes away
-- access to Disney parks 25min away
- home appliances and electronics
- the fact of having a sound dock in the fridge itself was really cool!
Things we didn't like:
- the house was very very dirty in general upon check-in: the floor was greasy and slippery, dirty windows, front yard with rubbish scattered around (empty cans, empty packages), dirty dishes, bedding with a musty smell, very dirty grill, furniture very dirty. We had to buy a lot of materials (mop, squeegee, etc) to be able to clean the house in general. That wasn't good at all.
- many ants scattered around the house (kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathrooms).
- there was a hairdryer, but it didn't work and we had to buy one.
- the kitchen is not prepared to receive guests for a long period: there are no containers to serve food, very few pans, there was no coffee maker to make traditional American coffee (we bought one and left it for the house), there were no glasses of wine or champagne especially for our new year celebration (we bought a few and left it for future guests) the water filter is expired and asking for replacement, the kitchen wastebasket is broken and without batteries, the disposer in the sink works intermittently
- there were no blankets in some rooms (the double bed on the ground floor did not have a blanket)
- lack of hangers for long-term guest use
- the shower curtain in the ground floor bathroom is too short, making the bathroom wet all the time.
- the blinds on the windows in the house don't work well or are broken and would need to be replaced.
