First, the good ... this home is in a good location, and the layout is good for a small group or a couple of families. The host is extremely communicative, and we had no issues with check in/out. Easy parking on the street out front.
We had two overall concerns with the home. First is that the kitchen is pretty terrible. There are literally no drawers, very little counter space, and it just wasn't well built (for example, the dishwasher wasn't even attached and tipped over when we opened the door). I think this could be fairly easily remedied with an Ikea-type island or similar that would fix the drawer & counter issue, and a little TLC would go a long way to making the kitchen more usable.
The second concern is that the listing is not totally accurate. Specifically, there were several things that are not clear from the listing but potential renters should recognize ...
- The home is on the second and third floor of a unit, so there are lots of steps to get in.
- The back yard is similarly 2+ floors down, so if you have a dog or even just to access the back yard, it's fairly inconvenient.
- The sofa in the living room is falling apart and not what's shown in the listing.
Again, none of these things are deal-breakers, but I think anyone looking to rent here should be aware. Overall we had a nice stay, and again Angela was communicative and friendly, but in the future I may look for a different home at this price point.
