Pros:
The location was perfect for our needs. Plenty of parking and nice views from the sidewalk. No views from in the unit.
Newer kitchen
Separate entrance with own digital key pad lock
Unit appeared clean with clean linens
Cons:
Four year old child continually ran around the floor above the rental unit and made loud banging sounds from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm on Saturday and 8:00 am on Sunday until our departure. Fortunately, we were out most of each day, otherwise, we would have complained. Since the posting notes that renters are expected to be quiet, it was surprising that the owners don't show the same consideration for their guests. The sounds of the child and the adults walking around, apparently with hard soled shoes, reverberated throughout the rental unit and were very annoying. We live below others in our home and never experience this level of noise from them.
No written instructions for operating the TV. It took some effort to figure it out.
No suggestions for restaurants, shopping, activities.
Coffee maker but no coffee
Only one dull slicing knife could be found.
No Kleenex could be found. Had to use toilet paper.
Unit had peeling and chipped paint from walls and woodwork, especially around the toilet, shower, and sink in the tiny bathroom. Hinges on the vanity are rusted and the door doesn't close.
Bathroom had a very bright motion activated light which went on whenever entering the bathroom, even though there was a very bright night light plugged into the wall. The bathroom light was disturbing to the occupant in the bedroom when bathroom was used at night.
Pipe hole in the shower without a cover over it, exposing black substance. Not sure what that was.
No hot water in bathroom or kitchen. Hot water would come out for perhaps 3 or 4 minutes at times and then become only tepid. We requested the water temperature be adjusted. Owner had all day to adjust, but at the end of the day, messaged us that he had not been able to get to it. It was fine later that night, but not hot again the rest of the weekend. At that point, we were leaving the next morning, so didn't raise the issue again.
Rarely do we give any negative remarks about the places we have stayed. Most owners had a sense of pride about their rental unit and we enjoyed our stays at those rentals. The experience we had here was was not up to what we had experienced in the previous units we had rented and we cannot recommend it to others.
