The house is spacious and nicely decorated. The location is very convenient to the St. Charles Street Trolley.We enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch. The parking was good and we felt safe in this neighborhood. The upstairs tenant was a bit noisy on Friday and Saturday nights but was quiet otherwise.
The air conditioning kept the house very comfortable. The bath was well supplied with towels, soap, and shampoo. The supply of toilet tissue was barely enough and when we ran low we purchased our own. The bed was comfortable and the closet was spacious. Although we did not need to use them, the iron and ironing board were nice to have available. The washer and dryer were much appreciated. There is no exterior vent for the dryer and the build up of lint on the floor in the back of the laundry area could be a fire hazard. Perhaps the vent device at the end of the flexible ducting needs cleaning.
The kitchen was a disappointment. The right rear burner on the stove was unplugged and out of service. The left rear burner knob had no readable markings so that it was difficult to know when it was on or off. The large right front burner knob had hand written “OFF” and heat settings that were faint and hard to read. The small left front burner was OK. Two of the four burners posed a potential fire hazard.
The light in the fresh food section of the refrigerator was not working. There was a large rusty area on the shelf of the freezer compartment.
The coffee cups were dirty inside and some of the dishes had a greasy film on the surface. We washed and dried the cups, glasses, and dishes that we did use both before and after use. The cookware also had greasy residue inside which we washed before using. The silverware drawer had sufficient knives and spoons, but only two forks, one full size and the other was a salad or child size fork.
The concrete entry steps had no handrail and the bottom step was wobbly. The lack of a handrail made carrying luggage into the house a challenge as well as a safety hazard.
This was also the first time that we have been asked to take out the trash before we left a rental. We did as requested, but it was unexpected.
We noticed a perfume or febreze type odor on entering the house. If you are sensitive to perfume you may want to sask if this has been corrected.
