Wonderful location across Downing from the lovely Washington Park. The spacious bungalow has great bones. Solid fridge with working icemaker; Viking dishwasher; top notch, easily accessed washer & dryer. Beds and linens were fine. Plenty of heat.
It needs some TLC:
• Front doorknob ready to fall off
• Kitchen faucet missing a piece of trim. Inexpensive to replace just the head.
• Neither bathroom has a toilet paper holder
• Living room coffee table and dining room chairs need tightening. The upholstery on the dining chairs needs cleaning or replacement.
Like many short-term rentals, pots, pans and cutlery could use an upgrade. One of our first stops was at a Target for hand towels, wash cloths, dish cloths and a pair of kitchen shears. We left ‘em behind.
The cottage is dog-friendly and while we didn’t mind the occasional hair, the poop bags outside the front and rear of the house belong in the garbage.
