Home was dirty when we arrived and had to do some of our own cleaning. Were able to contact the owner via text and he sent out housekeeper upon request; however this request should never have to have happened. The master bed was in such bad shape that it almost felt like a waterbed. Only 1 could sleep in it because the movement in it was so bad. One of the legs on the bed was broken and it was being held up with a block of wood. The bedroom windows in the master were sealed up with plastic and had to ask permission to unseal them so we could get some fresh air. The window in the 2nd bedroom had no screen so unable to open it. Housekeeper indicated it would be looked after but never was. The home was very stale smelling and fresh air and deodorizing spray did not help. Minimal kitchen utensils for cooking and baking and what was there was extremely grungy. Almost every dish and plate was chipped. Everything was extremely old and in desperate need of replacing. The housekeeper brought some new cutlery and storage containers, probably just to try and appease us. The microwave died on us twice and the housekeeper came and replaced it with an even older model. The TV was so small and placed up on the top of a cabinet near the ceiling which made it extremely difficult to watch. Although the house had two different satellite dishes on the roof, we only had access to a minimal number of stations so very few options for viewing. The couches in the living room were very old and extremely low making it difficult to get out of once seated. Landscaping in desperate need of attention and very overgrown in places. There was a huge wood pile in back yard which was attracting squirrels, etc. The front step is falling apart and honestly did not feel safe at all. There was a makeshift door in the kitchen to restrict access to the basement but the frame was open about 6 inches from the wall making it an extreme hazard for small children and pets. The housekeeper indicated that the “hostess” would contact us at one point since the owner was out of town, but in the 2 ½ weeks we were there, we never heard from her at all. This home may be old and dated but if maintained could be a cute little getaway, however, in its current state, we do not recommend staying here at all. It is in the ideal location: quiet neighborhood and close to Transcona Trail but unfortunately, in this case, location isn’t everything.
