I struggled with this review because of the reasons for the lower ratings. Overall, it was not the worst experience, however, it was not the best.
Pros:
The house was adorable, well-kept, and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to make good meals, including some spices! The porch had good seating and the backyard area was lovely and provided a nice space to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. The entire property is fenced in, which made all of us feel more comfortable. Overall, we LOVED the house!
Cons: As previous reviews mentioned, the neighborhood was sketchy at best. While the neighbors were friendly, we were woken up several times by loud cars and gunshots. Our second night, we were sitting on the front porch and heard gunshots at the end of the street which prompted us to run inside.
I understand we may have ended up there during a bad weekend, but I felt like it was important to include all information. Jose practiced wonderful communication with us and these experiences were absolutely out of his control. However, we had our 12-year-old nephew with us and spent a good bit of time being concerned about his safety. Again, overall it was not the worst experience. The neighborhood is what kept it from being the best.
