You are renting a floor in the house, not the whole house. If you have the upstairs unit, there is no key to front door (ground level entry). You have to use a set of steeper stairs to enter unit via back raised patio then can unlock front door from inside. If you have any type of disability, don't get the top unit. If you are a simple person, the home is basic with used/worn furniture, dishes, bedspreads, etc. It worked for me. My main disappointment was I arrived late after long flight day and had to clean bath tub and wipe down counters/table in kitchen plus sweep upon arrival. I did not clean the refrigerator but it had food/spills in it. I can't say if a one-time error or not. About 10 miles from down town and I appreciated being outside of town. Takes about 40-45 minutes with traffic to get into downtown for meetings/classes leaving about 6:45 AM/7:00 AM, same thing coming home starting 4:45 PM/5 PM. Enjoyed having wild turkeys in the back yard and even came up the stairs onto the patio.
