This is a difficult review to write. The two best things were meeting the owner, Susan, who told us all about her interesting life and accomplishments. She was friendly and very nice, even bringing over flowers and some treats when she learned we were celebrating our anniversary. The other best thing was the view. And the location, despite it being a very run down and neglected neighborhood, was close to all the things we wanted to do and see. The curb appeal of the house was not good. The yards were neglected and overgrown with dead plants and furniture that had been damaged by the elements. The roof was covered in pine needles which could be a fire hazard (though the Fire Station was right down the street). Having the yard cleaned up and dead plants removed/replaced would make the property far more inviting. Had we been touring the area and only seen the yard, it would have dissuaded us from renting the property. The house was filled with so many items and decor that it felt overcrowded and a bit claustrophobic. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were of good quality. The cold water in the large bathroom barely trickled out. The kitchen was crowded with too many things on the counters, which were sticky and not clean. We had hoped to cook there, but it was an unwieldy space for two to maneuver. There were various internal signs of neglect with chipped paint, not very clean carpeting, sliders that didn't open, and way too much clutter. We wouldn't rent it again.
