Unfortunately, the home did not match our expectations or the listing photos and is in significant need of updating and a thorough clean-out. The walls were dirty and needed paint, the carpet/rugs were dated, and while the mattresses had just been replaced, the pillows were flat and worn and the bedding and towels were old and thin. We purchased our own pillows, pillowcases and towels.The home felt less like a vacation rental and more like someone's lived-in home. There were miscellaneous items everywhere, including old clothes and toys, books, a file cabinet, a gymnastics balance beam, salon-style hair dryer, shower chair and barber-style chairs. There were no hand towels in the bathrooms, only paper towels.The host invited us to use the food in the fridge, which was thoughtful, but the pantry was packed with food and household items, and we found moldy hamburger buns and old oranges on the table.The listing photos also don't accurately reflect the home's current appearance; the living room, for example, looks very different.The street itself was quiet and a nearby police station made us feel more comfortable, but the surrounding area isn't particularly walkable and we drove to the Metro and restaurants.The host was very responsive and the new mattresses were appreciated, but overall the home's condition, cleanliness and clutter made this a disappointing stay.
