The house was quite dirty, had not been cleaned properly in a long time, courtyard and garden was blocked from use with 2 appliances placed in front of the back door - misrepresented in photos on web. Judging by the cobwebs surrounding these appliances, this courtyard has been out of use for some time-again misrepresented. ( the courtyard being closed is a very recent addition to the website) There were several issues in the house that had not been remedied in some time: only 2 out of 9 lights in kitchen worked, one oven would not work, washing machine would not function properly. We were told that the upstairs shower had just sprung a leak and could not be used; when we arrived it was apparent it had not been working for a long time. The house is in bad need of some restoration - trim, wallpaper all need of replacing/restoring. There was open food left in freezer, garbage left in trash bins in kitchen (smelly). Kitchen cupboards in disarray- old stuff from previous renters/or owners left open and just shoved in , dust all over the liquor bottles in cabinet-very dirty. We vacuumed the whole place ourselves to try and help. We were very disappointed in the place - especially since we have rented many times before and in many locations with great success.
