Nice neighborhood. Better for short stays.
The home is in a good neighborhood and we had good communication from the management company. However, the home had some issues such as no towel bar near sink in master bathroom, squeaky bedroom doors, no lock on the basement bathroom door, and not enough blankets for cold winter nights. The showers also had some pink mold (not a lot) and the master bathroom shower is a makeshift showerhead added to what used to be a tub-only setup. And it was broken so it made showering in there nearly impossible. One of the bed frames in the downstairs bedrooms was broken, so it was very squeaky and loud. Oven wasn’t very clean and we set off the smoke detectors within 15 minutes of baking something. Little things like this typically don’t bother me, but when I brought these issues up to management, they dismissed several of them saying that it’s an older home and there’s only so much they can do. Not a bad place to stay for a night or two, but for a large group like ours for several nights in a row, it’s not as nice or as well stocked as I would’ve liked.
