I rented this property realizing that there were no reviews, and I paid what I paid to get a house with a backyard pool. The host’s narrative is over the top, so weigh it against my observation: this home is about 30-40 years old in a quiet, safe neighborhood. It has good, new appliances, fresh paint, and rental-grade furnishings and hardware. The pool needs a handrail. The pool, patio area is lovely. The one-level home is appropriate for all ages. Lots of ceramic floor tile, so walk carefully with wet feet.
This town’s sanitation department picks up bags of trash at the backyard curb. I was asked in writing to move existing trash from outdoor storage bins to the curb, and I was told that if I couldn’t manage it, to contact them. So our first night I moved a lot of other people’s trash, poorly bagged, to the curb. Am I being petty? Maybe, but if they could send someone over to help, maybe they should just send someone over to move the trash and leave the guests out of it. Anyway, factor in trash duty for previous guests as you consider the daily rental rate.
