This place is in a great location and one of the few with multiple bedrooms for a reasonable price. Kristi provided great communication and checked in on us which I appreciated. I was there to bring my daughter to college so wasn’t in vacation mode and I told Kristi all was ok so I feel like a bit of a jerk for pointing out things in this review now - but they weren’t things that could be quickly addressed and I also wanted to keep my focus on getting my daughter settled.
This place needs some TLC, mostly in the kitchen and back entrance. The kitchen is not well equipped - there is a mix of old and sticky pots and pans, not a single sharp knife and few plates/bowls etc. We didn’t want to go out too often with Covid and had planned on cooking more but the poorly equipped and “sticky” kitchen turned us off.
The back screen door was ripped so you couldn’t leave the door open for air flow. The back porch door does not have a knob on it and the back porch has a bunch of old furniture on it that is covered with dust. Since that is the main entrance for the place you had to go through that each time and it just made the whole place feel neglected, especially when the surrounding neighbors had their balconies so nicely set up.
The place seems to be furnished with a bunch of found items which I don’t mind but several of the rooms are just uncomfortable as a result. The living room has a cool green corduroy couch but then just one small pink light lamp. The Apple TV didn’t work - I don’t think the wifi is strong enough.
There was no soap in the bathroom - not something I would normally put in a review but another indicator of the place needing just a bit more tlc to make it more comfortable
The big positives are that Kristi was super helpful with providing info and the location and size of the place are great - but I hope that she can spend just a little time on some small repairs and a good deep clean for her next guests.
