Plenty of positives:-
-Spacious, light and breezy;
-Quiet neighbourhood;
-Decent sized deck (sitting on the deck at sunset would be nice);
-Not expensive;
-Generally clean and tidy;
-Entry instructions were clear and Al was easy to deal with (we only texted though);
-TV area with couch and pillows was comfortable and homely.
There were a few negatives though:-
-There is an internal stair to a downstairs tenant. We weren't even sure they were there. The stairwell had been boarded over but not fixed as far as we could tell. It was probably down to a locked door, but we didn't know. As we have a couple of young kids, we didn't sleep very well. Some points that didn't help were there were no reviews at the time of our stay and we hadn't spoken over the phone with the owner, Al.
-We knew the place was old but it's a little neglected as well, for eg some smashed splash back tiles in the kitchen that could be fixed.
So the negatives aren't bad. They just accumulated in a way for us that made our stay not so enjoyable.
