Okay stay but property condition not quite as pictures showed
The property is at a great location, right on the canals and right next to Galveston island. The neiborhood feels safe and quiet, and the rooms are reasonably clean. However, I do hope to note a few things that would make me consider before booking the property again in the future:
1. The interior is notably dimmer than the pics shown.
2. The leather sofa set (master bedroom and 2 pieces in living room) are older than in the pics and honestly look dirty, the master living room also had a notable odor as we enter it which was likely from the area rug.
3. The coffee maker needs some thorough cleaning, there's coffee powder remnants floating in the water compartment, and the water intake spot has build-up and notable smell.
4. The property is advertised to sleep 8 but bed space already feels limited for us (5 adults 2 small kids). The 2 queen beds felt more like full size, and the sofa "beds" are not pull-out beds and simply otherwise too short for an adult.
5. There is a big crack on the top section of one of the mirrors in the master bathroom, we were a little concerned it might fall out and had to make sure the kids stayed away from that area.
6. This is probably evident from the pictures but there is no range hood or other types of ventilation in the kitchen, this would be somewhat limiting for those of us who enjoy still being able to cook ourselves when travelling on vacation.
