PROS
- Great location near lots of fun bars and restaurants. Try the Flying Saucer for breakfast.
- Quiet neighborhood.
- Updated kitchen appliances.
- Lots of room—accommodated 5 of us comfortably.
CONS
- Needs some TLC: the walls are badly scuffed from furniture marks and luggage bumping up the stairway.
- Furniture is kind of old and worn—a bench in one of the bedrooms was badly stained.
- Shower curtain in top floor bathroom very mildewed.
- Back patio area is strewn with broken concrete and glass.
- The entrance to the detached garage should have a step and handrail, but instead there are a few bricks piled up to make a makeshift step. This is a safety hazard.
(Note: I don’t like leaving this kind of review, and in fact I sent this feedback directly to Charles in a private message, along with photos, in order to give him an opportunity to address them. However, based on the adversarial tone of his replies I suspect he will not act on this feedback, so I’m sharing it here to give future renters a heads up. If I were you I would ask Charles to send you photos showing the issues have been remedied before renting this property. It is very close to being a really nice rental if it were taken better care of.)
