Homey and inviting.

Accommodated our whole family! It was our old stomping ground so we were very familiar which also made it perfect for us. Cute place with positive vibes.

Dirty

This house has not seen a mop in a long time. Mold in showers. Hair in bathroom sink upon check in. We went to Target to buy bed linens and blankets because they were stained or never washed. Extra linens in closet were just tossed on the shelf (dirty??). Poorly stocked bathroom and kitchen. Exterior is not being maintained.

Neglected

House was not clean. Floors dirty, cobwebs on ceiling, numerous items including dog chew found under couch cushions. Bushes growing across the front walk & trees growing in gutters.

Cute little house

The house was cute, smaller than what envisioned from the pictures, but worked fine. A couple of snafus at the beginning but worked them out (no clean towels). Beds ok, as mattresses were not what we were used to. But the house was decorated nicely and cute. A lot of construction outside which could not be helped. Owner was mostly responsive.

Nice, clean, updated

This is a nice place with nice upgrades and worked well for our family. The home is on a busy street so it is a little bit noisy in the kitchen and dining room, but the convenience to the downtown area made up for it.
