Check-in and entrance access was easy & seamless. Kitchen was spacious and equipped well with necessary cooking ware etc. Beds were comfortable and bed linens were clean and smelled fresh. It was a spacious, nostalgic, old, and very cool house! The neighborhood and the condemned houses surrounding this rental have a lot to be desired, however. Unfortunately the overall house was NOT cleaned well prior to our stay. The living room rug was full of crumbs; ceiling fans & side tables (of every room) were quite dusty; large cobwebs were visible in our closets and on the fireplace mantle in the dining area; empty plastic water bottles were sitting in the kitchen window sill etc.The toilets of the two downstairs bathrooms were notably NOT cleaned well before our arrival, nor was the shower & the tub. In fact, we had to clean them ourselves before we felt comfortable using them. The owner (Barry) communicated promptly to our messages. He seemed kind and receptive to our concerns; however, he offered no discount for our dissatisfaction regarding the lack of cleanliness of this rental property even though we requested it which was disappointing.
