Overall:
•	It is a nice older home in a pleasant neighborhood. Mike, the owner, is a very nice person and provided many ideas on where to eat and to get alcohol and groceries in the neighborhood. Note: The only reason we gave this a 3-star rating is due to the number of items requiring attention
Good items:
•	Good location, close to airport and downtown
•	Quiet neighborhood
•	Own private laneway with ample parking
•	Large back yard and deck even if weather didn't permit us to take full advantage
Items requiring attention:
•	The house needs to be anonymized – too much personal stuff such as drawers with owner’s clothes still in them, well stocked open bar not locked, files in the office drawers, etc
•	The rusted out, dirty Barbeque. We had to buy a grill cooking mat cover so we could use it. Mike did tell one of member of our group that he had a new one in the garage
•	Loose knobs on many drawers in kitchen
•	Poor lighting in kitchen as the lights under the countertop and over the sink did not work at all and according to the owner, it was a failed attempt that dates some time ago
•	No tee towels for dishes
•	No broom for sweeping the floor
•	No hand towels in bathrooms
•	Remotes for both fireplaces did not work
•	It took a few days to figure out how to use the TV in the living room by using the various programs, very frustrating.
•	Couches in family room old and uncomfortable
•	Paint peeled on several doors
•	Two of the bedrooms should be listed as dens with futons / murphy bed rather than beds, no closets or dressers with the front room left with hardly any room to move around – not what was expected from the listing
•	Loose stone on first step of front walk; could be dangerous
