Positives:
The owner is very responsive to emails.
The location is close to restaurants and supermarkets by car.
Plenty of space to stretch out in the dining room and living room.
Kitchen is spacious and plenty of room in the fridge and counter space.
What we didn't love:
Lots of little fixes that could improve the experience, like knobs in the kitchen that needed simple fixes, and fixing the trash can lid;
The pans in the kitchen were Teflon, very old and used, we didn't want to cook anything in them.
There are two chairs in the living room but no side tables, so no where to put a drink.
Master bedroom shades were broken in parts, looked cheap and unloved.
Master bed was impossible to sleep on, I sunk down so far when I laid on it, it is very poor quality and ended up sleeping in another room.
House smells like someone smoked in it years ago, and it seemed like there was some attempt to mask it, but I could still smell it.
Master bathroom - there are 2 sinks, one which has terrible water pressure; the other has good water pressure, but you have to kneel on the toilet to use that sink.
Cabinets in the master bathroom need to be painted, looked cheap and worn.
Master shower head could be replaced which would improve the flow; water pressure in both bathrooms was weak.
Neighborhood isn't attractive.
Overall, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for. I think the home could be improved quite easily with a few easy upgrades.
