This property is ALMOST there… as a great rental in the Valley Village area.
But unfortunately there are several things that could be improved.
First the positives:
Great Valley Village location. Safe and lovely tree lined streets.
Heated pool and outdoor patio space is fantastic.
The kitchen and bathrooms were updated nicely.
The property manager was very responsive, helpful and friendly.
But there are some key negatives that I hope the property manager takes into consideration:
Several things in the home were simply broken and not cared for.
One of the shower heads didn’t work. The property manager got right on this and had it replaced the next day. We were grateful for that.
The dryer also did not work. I actually think it’s vented incorrectly through the ceiling/roof without a clean out for the lint. So it’s probably clogged.
One cabinet door was ripped off the wall in the kitchen and just sitting on the ground right outside the door when we arrived.
The house was not properly stocked with important supplies… like dishwasher soap… clean sponges… tissue… or even a proper trey to organize silverware which was just thrown messily in a drawer.
The floors were dirty and appeared as if they hadn’t been mopped in a while.
There were also numerous old plug in air fresheners that were so strong they actually had the reverse effect… and contributed to a foul smell.
I hate writing bad reviews… and almost never do.
But I think the property managers could put in just a little extra effort that wouldn’t cost much and it would go a long way.
Also, one last important note… this is not really a 5 bedroom home.
The 5th bedroom and half bath are above the garage up an awkward and dark staircase. We were originally going to put our kids up there, but upon seeing it, they were way too afraid.
The home is more comfortably a 4 bedroom 2 bath.
