The place had been cleaned, and the beds were comfortable. But there was trash (a partially eaten bag of pretzels) on the counter. The couches were stained, looked dirty and were not comfortable. No way anyone could settle in that couch and watch a TV show. The kitchen was poorly stocked. They may have done some renovations, but the cabinets were the originals and did not close properly or open easily. Empty drawers were dirty. There were not enough dishes. One bowl in the entire kitchen and just a few coffee mugs. The bathtub in the main house is stained, as is the grout. The exterior needs a lot of work. Also, locating the house. Black numbers on a black mailbox. Not a good combination when you're arriving after dark.

This home has some safety issues, the windows do not lock. The front door needed to press the lock 3 times to finally lock. This is also Two separate apartments not one home. We walked in and immediately smelled a dampness, moldy smell. The home is old, which is hard to tell by the great pictures. We never stayed in the home due to the safety issues with not being able to lock our windows, the dirty pans, the coffee pot was still dirty and the rugs had visible stains. I traveled from Japan, I needed to close my eyes and this house was not going to give me any rest. On top of it being unkept. I called the office immediately nobody volunteered to come and see for themselves. I left after entering in 18 mins they are now dealing with my credit card company.
