We booked the house because of all the positive reviews; we didn't go back far enough in reviews to see some of the negative feedback that seems to be accurate after visiting. Would we stay again? Probably, just with lower expectations. Just a few things for potential guests to be aware of......
Pros
*Lots of room
*Easy on/off access from the 60
*Close to mall/restaurants
*Quick responses from Joe
*Safe
*Quiet...for the most part
Cons
* Too many Airwick plugins. The fake perfume smell was so overwhelming, I ended up with a massive headache my first afternoon there with irritated eyes/nose the rest of the day. If you're sensitive to this kind of thing, ask the host to unplug them before arriving.
*If you like a hot shower, this isn't the place for you, unless you let the water run for about 25 minutes, or are the third one to shower.
*3/4 bath is small. There is a shelving unit in the bathroom now that makes it even smaller. In order to somewhat move around to dry off from the shower, you have to remove the shelving unit.
*Shower head in 3/4 bath is not installed at standard height, so anyone over 5' will have to bend over forward/backwards to wash hair, chest, pits, and shoulders.
*Toilet in 3/4 bath is too close to the wall, you have to shimmy past it to get to the sink/shower. For anyone over 6' that sits on the toilet, their knees will hit the wall.
*There is a gun range behind the house. If you want to sleep in on the weekends, you won't....the gun range opens at 9am on weekends, 10am during the week
*Vertical blinds in bedroom are now missing slats since pic was taken. If you are the type of person that has to have your windows covered at night, then this isn't the bedroom for you. Not a big deal since there are no back neighbors, but some people have to have their windows covered at night.
*Generally a surface-clean house, but is in desperate need of a deep clean, and repairs.
*Window tracks are gross with dirt and dead bugs, blinds above kitchen sink are layered with dirt and food particles, just to name a few.
*Several blinds have broken or missing slats.
*Window a/c unit in back bedroom smells like pee-soaked underwear that's been sitting around when turned on.
*Cardboard installed in window above the mentioned a/c unit has a big hole in it, which is probably where the bugs/spiders are coming from.
*There's a rooster close by whose internal clock is off and crows at all hours of the night. Rooster could possibly be muffled if the cardboard in the window was replaced.
