The part of the house where you actually stay is really cute and funky; we loved listening to the roosters and watching sunrises & sunsets from the deck, the beds were comfy, the kitchen was fine, and the living area was a nice, open space to hang out. Everything was very cheerful- loved the quilts & curtains & artwork throughout. But when you first pull up to the house, it looks a bit grim (not at all as pictured in photos). The garage doors and siding are really aged and need work, and the front yard was a bit bedraggled, making the entire house just look kind of desolate and abandoned. It's clear work is being done on the property and that's wonderful! but I might prefer it when it's done. Also, the neighborhood is residential, so you'll be driving a bunch, which means.... you'll have to pass the house down the street with all kinds of signs that make you feel really unwelcome. Not this house's problem, I know, but it has a cumulative effect of bumming you out for just being there
