I hate to make this review but there are a few things I think should be noted that I did not previously read in the reviews.
Pros:
- This home is very clean, I could walk barefoot and did not feel gross.
- There are many rooms available to sleep, so if you need to accommodate people its a good size.
- It's nice to have a washer and dryer accessible.
- TV in the rooms, especially with children.
- They offer games and that was helpful with having a kid.
Cons:
- The water pressure in the shower is extremely low, its uncomfortably low. There's no quick shower.
- The couches do not have cushions to the size of the couch, so you cant sit back comfortably. There are tears in the couch and it looks worn. The couches are also further from the TV, so hanging out and watching a movie is not comfortable to do.
- The house is pictured nicely but it is old, windows are rusted.
- The neighborhood is less than "gentrified." As a tourist who is not familiar with the area or city, I was not comfortable. I packed my valuables every time I would leave the home. While the owner may know the community this is not a comfortable setting as a tourist. My husband and I like to go for runs and this was not a neighborhood to comfortable run in, feeling safe.
- With that said, some sort of alarm system would be appreciated.
- The back door was uncomfortable to lock and did not always feel fully secure. This was kind of concerning giving we were concerned with neighborhood.
- The parking spot that is supposed to be available is not available. The owner said we can move the neighbors trashcans so we can park in the space. I dont know the neighbor to move their trashcans. With the concern for the neighborhood and not having a space to park our car, this was bothersome.
I personally would not come back to this rental. I would've appreciated knowing the above listed cons bc it would've changed my selection.
I wish them success but I think there should be a little more honesty and "what to expect" in the listing, especially for tourists.
