The house had a lot of potential. Most of the rooms (aside from the bathrooms) were neatly remodeled and there was no carpeting (always a good option for keeping things clean). If it's not obvious from the listing, the house is right at the bottom of the hill and only a few hundred feet from Ventura Blvd which is convenient (walking distance to some shops and restaurants) but also a little close to some sketchiness (saw some homeless folks at the bottom of the street).
On the flip side:
Couch and master bed reeked of marijuana. Every time you would sit down or roll over in bed, there was a very distinct smell.
Both bathrooms need work. We wouldn't use the shower in the master bedroom because the tub was cracked and stepping inside of it felt very unsafe. The second bathroom floor was dirty and the tub and shower were very worn down and crusty.
For reasons I can't understand, there was barely and silverware in the kitchen.
A/C return vent was VERY dirty.
