Good location but lots of improvements needed on the property itself.
Some basic things expected of any house is missing or poorly executed:
- Big gaps in the bottom of main entrance door. Lacking door sweep/weather strip. Same problem with kitchen door that opens to the backyard.
- Bathroom didn't have lock on the door but the host was quick to get one and I was happy to install it. So now the new guest will not have that problem anymore
- No bug screen on windows (except one window in Kitchen). We were afraid to leave windows open even when it was hot inside the house so that bugs/mosquitos wouldn't get in.
- Very old wood frame single pane windows. The kitchen window didn't lock. The bedroom window opens to a narrow gap between two houses with the other house looking abandoned and its windows shuttered with wood.
- HVAC intake is from the bathroom!! Better turn off the AC or heating when someone is doing their business!!
- HVAC vents were showing pieces of loose fiber glass insulation stuck on it. This we noticed towards the end of our stay. I wouldn't have stayed there if I saw it earlier as it can be very unhealthy to inhale fiber glass particles.
- There was gap in the corner of bedroom wall where outside light was showing through... this was strange. Likely some piece of roof was missing on the top!
- Kitchen could use some reorganization and extra coffee mugs (there were only 3, while the coffee maker was for 6/8 cups). There is no exhaust in the kitchen and the gas range was across from the only window.
- Backyard looked as if it was abandoned with stuff just lying around and I saw dog poop in one or two places.
- Queen mattress in the bedroom was too soft/mushy - probably not a good choice for people with back issues.
