The house itself is nice enough, but honestly, there are so many things that need attention. Most of these things can be easily fixed by a handyman, relatively inexpensively. To not have ANY hand towels or washcloths is a problem. We had to go buy some.
The outdoor furniture is not just broken, it’s a safety problem. It’s falling apart. Actually broken and unusable a d a huge safety risk. I sat down on a lounge chair and my bum sand to the ground because the plastic wicker was broken. This was the case with several pieces of furniture. Neither of the umbrellas opened; both were broken.
There were no hand towels in the kitchen, no excuse.
The toilet roll dispensers and hand towels dispensers in the bathrooms were falling off the wall. The shower curtain is torn. I almost went and bought a new one.
Honestly, I was embarrassed to have my friends stay here. None of us would have these things broken in our own homes, let alone rent our places in such disrepair.
I messaged the owner within the first day, took pictures to document, and while the owner did reply quickly, she was not helpful. There was no offer to fix anything or refund anything.
This home is a nice home, it’s been remodeled satisfactorily, just not maintained properly or even adequately.
While it seemed clean initially, the floors need mopping. My socks showed the dirt by walking around on the floor. I have similar flooring at home and I would be horrified if my socks were dirty from walking on my floor. Vacuuming is not enough, the floors must be cleaned.
I suspect the owner does not live locally. That’s a problem. At least they could retain a property manager available to attend to these things .
