Potential beauty in need of TLC!!!
Unfortunately the pictures do not paint the proper picture of the properties condition. We thought we were getting a nice house in a quiet, residential neighborhood. The neighborhood part was accurate, but the condition of the house was more "frat house" vibe. This could be a beautiful house in a great neighborhood, unfortunately it has not been taken care of and is literally crumbling. The exterior of the house shows evident signs of decay - holes in the exterior by the front door, rotting windows, buckled shutters, brick steps that are not level and even a branch coming through the roof of the garage.
The main level - LR, DR and family rooms are in decent condition and decorated very nicely. The owner seems to be trying with these rooms. Then you get to the kitchen and the bathroom on this level and things change. The small shower in this LL bath has mold, the kitchen has seen better days -- windows could not be opened because they were rotted, filled with bugs and/or mold. The sliding door screen was bent and didn't close properly.
The bedrooms upstairs, two of them are in fair condition and two not so much. Carpeting in the rooms are visibly dirty. Windows had bugs/mold. Ceilings are peeling/sagging or have visible water damage and also sagging. The bathrooms upstairs are ok, but nothing was properly cleaned. We were a group of 4-couples so the house had the space we needed. We made the best of this rental. For the nightly rate, it should be better maintained and cleaned.
