On the positive side, the location of this property was great. We liked the walk in shower and the towels were nice. As far as the condition of the property, honestly "neglected" is the word that comes to mind.
One of the two couches is unusable. Besides being dirty and needing a fitted sheet over it, the springs are literally "herniated" and I couldn't sit on it, let alone sleep on it. Fortunately it was just my wife and I and we didn't need to use it. The window blind in the bedroom has been broken for some time and has been knotted up many times over in an attempt to repair. It has clearly been broken for some time and it's unclear why it hasn't been replaced. In a property without air conditioning, it's also unclear why only a single fan is provided. A second is needed to keep air flowing in the bedroom and the living room as there is not A/C.
There is also some issue with the plumbing where hot water in the shower is intermittently available, and mostly unavailable in the kitchen and bathroom sinks. This is particularly concerning during a pandemic where you are relying on the hand-washing of dishes by the previous tenants in cold water to provide a safe experience. It did appear that warm water was possible in the sinks while the shower was running. I can't be sure but there was a correlation between the shower running and getting warm water in the kitchen sink, and then the shower going off and having the water supply in the sink also go cold. If this is the case, the plumbing has not been done correctly and would be a significant issue to repair.
Regarding cleanliness, the ceiling fans are caked in dust. Photos of the torn screen from the kitchen window and filth in the window screen and window well, as well as mold and mildew from the shower window are disgusting. I'm bald and my wife is blonde, so the dark hairs around the base of the toilet are clearly from a previous tenant. The bottoms of the dresser drawers are also falling out though this didn't impact their function much.
The sign in the kitchen said we hope we enjoy our 5 star experience but while the location alone makes a 5 star experience possible, the neglected property makes this at best a 2 star experience and I will need to rate it as such for the sake of future property renters. I do see now that others as recently as July have made comments on the layers of dust and conditions of the couches, so if their comments didn't receive action then I doubt mine will.
It's unfortunate because this location is great, but it's far from 5 star.
