This house was less expensive than other homes in the area so I expected some quirks. Here are some highlights of the good and bad-
Bad:
The renter required extra paperwork including insisting on a separate signed contract in which I had to give the ages of all my children. That felt weird and intrusive.
The house had a very narrow stairway and poorly maintained doors and windows, outdated electrical, and shabby furnishings. For example, the only lighting in one room was a lamp that was missing the thing covering the switch so it was hard to turn on and the pots had mismatched covers.
Two doors that led to a very small walled-in area outside were not able to be locked.
One toilet was half under the stairway so it was odd to access.
Good:
Awesome location steps from the beach and short walk to mission bay.
The neighborhood was busy and active but still mostly quiet at night.
There was shampoo etc in the showers and lots of towels and clean bedding.
Having the garage to park in was very convenient because parking is hard to find in that neighborhood.
Luke was very responsive- he came out to fix the garage clicker that stopped working and was very polite when it turned out that it was working again by the time he arrived.
In summary, quirky home with some need of maintenance, most notably to make sure all the exterior doors can lock, in a great location at a fair price with responsive renters.
