While the host was very pleasant, unfortunately, the house was not exactly what was advertised on the listing. The kitchen cabinets were stocked with utensils, pots, pans, plates, cups, seasonings, and hand soaps GALORE which were appreciated. Some changes were upgrades to certain rooms (adding/replacing furniture), but the rest made it very obvious that no one has been there in a while.
For starters, the ceiling fan in the living room is missing a blade. There is a loose tile near the fireplace, as well as an empty fire extinguisher (even if it was full, it was an expired canister). Two of the three TVs with DVD players wouldn't play, and the fire stick on the TV in the living room wouldn't make it past the home page. The stairs were not completely clean, as you could see remaining fur from a long-haired dog or cat pushed to the side.
Upstairs, the ceiling fan in the family movie loft area has wires exposed, and one of the double-paned windows was broken on the inside. One of the beds was impossible to sleep on. You could hear and feel every spring in the old mattress, so I moved to the bedroom downstairs. That's IF you slept at night because of the neighbors worked on cars throughout the night. My major concern about outside was about the lighting. There was one bright light on the corner of the house, but it still didn't help much for anyone trying to navigate the stairs after dark.
I think other just deserve to know what to expect when looking at this listing.
