From the outside, the house looks like it's falling apart and the photos don't reflect the state of the house inside. The listing indicates a century-old charmer with a renovated bathroom -- that is not the case. There were big cracks in the wall of the bathroom where you could see outside! There were also cracks in the floors where you could see the ground below. The house is crooked so the floor is on a slant -- which means that the bed is also on a slant. In addition, the mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. The ceiling fans haven't seen a duster in a long time; when we turned the one in the sleeping area on, dust flew all over the bedspread and our luggage.
Kitchen is OK and looks like it has been somewhat renovated. Stove and oven worked well.
Front porch is a disaster and the screen door is very hard to open and close.
There is no heating in the house, so Melissa provides portable heaters. The two in the sleeping area worked well but the ones in the common area did not - they were either extremely noisy or didn't work at all.
Location is close to streetcar but not walking distance from any attractions.
Washer and dryer are in a shed in the back but we couldn't use them because someone left towels in the washer and sheets in the dryer the whole four days we were there.
Also, house rules indicate no smoking. However, the renter next door was smoking pot on the front porch in the morning, which we could smell in our unit.
I would not recommend this place.
