We will not be staying at the Flat (pretentious) ever again. Let's start with the 'under construction' sign that is not posted online. That is deceitful. The construction is in the basement. Trash is piled in the backyard and it is called construction. Disgusting. The online pictures lie.
The air conditioning unit made an unusual noise and was very loud. Upon inspection, I cleaned what must have been years of thick, black, filth from the filter. Extremely disgusting. The noise subsided upon cleaning the fins and replacing the now, cleaned filter.
The aquarium, with water that resembled a Manhattan Cocktail, was disgusting and cruel. I cleaned the aquarium and also had to clean the air pump as a brown crud was inside the air tube.
Every wall, light switch, ceiling, stove exhaust vent, windows, light fixtures, doors, woodwork and floors need to be thoroughly cleaned and/or painted. Even under the bed is loaded with thick dust and filth.
The worn and damaged deck, along with the broken Adirondack chairs is far from what is shown online. A review from April 2022 must be a lie because no deck can get that bad in 4 months with plants growing through the slats and having that extent of bad boards, chipped and worn paint (to the extent of placing an orange safety cone).
The kitchen counters and floor were OK. However, even in the kitchen, almost every cabinet had loose hinges and were difficult to close.
Every window treatment/mini-blinds are either broken, torn and non-functional. All are filthy! The pictures online are not reality.
The bathroom is gross. Chipped and worn paint and rust is visible throughout the room. The back side of the shutters are filthy and cruddy.
The front yard is actually dangerous due to the apparent sewer-drain work not being leveled and is replete with ruts. The entire left side (looking at it from the street) is all dirt. The front storm door is broken and would not close properly.
Part of the side of the house and the backyard fence is green with mold. The back yard is totally trashed. Disgusting.
A deep-cleaning and painting is necessary. The property has potential but fails miserably at this time and does not warrant the rent and fees charged.
