Cons-
The house was extremely dusty and had a very musty old house smell (which is to be expected bc it’s an old home). So beware if you have allergies.
The house was likely cleaned after the last guest but not just before we entered but we were told that it was being “cleaned and prepared” prior to our check in. I just wish they were dusted and aired the house out by opening windows prior to our arrival. My sinuses were going crazy the moment I entered the house. I had to open every window and turn on every fan but even that didn’t help, it wasn’t til maybe 24hrs after checking in that the house was fully aired and free of the musty smell but that didn’t solve the dust problem which was on every window screen, window sill. Even the fake plants in were covered in dust.
Another thing if you have allergies is the couches are filled with feathers which tend to shed and poke you when you sit down.
Upon departure we were instructed to close all the windows again so if you rent just be aware that the house doesn’t get a lot of ventilation.
Also there’s a downstairs unit that I wasn’t aware of until we arrived, surprise it connects to the upstairs until that you’ll be staying in through the laundry room. Creepy and not exactly safe. Speaking of safe be cautious if you have children bc the windows are toddler height and they would easily fall out if they were to lean forward onto the screen to look outside. It’s a pretty high drop and they’d def get hurt if not worse so watch your kids well.
Overall I liked that the house was in a good location but I had a difficult time overlooking the fact that it didn’t seem to be cleaned well or wasn’t cleaned recently. The shower in the master bath had some mold and mildew in the corners and when we went to cook, we found a pan covered in oil in the
cabinet. I even had to wash the sheets, pillowcases and towels bc they didn’t seem clean bc of the dusty and musty smell.
Pros-
-Close to town and lots of sights.
-Museum directly behind the house so you can walk right over.
-Good reliable internet.
