Our family has rented numerous properties over the years and although we liked the floorplan of this condo and the location, we were less than impressed with it. The fact that the kitchen wasn't updated was not a big deal but the organization of the kitchen was clearly done by someone who doesn't cook or bake.
Here is a list of things that were terrible:
1) Prior reviews reported a well stocked kitchen. We did not find this to be true. Salt/pepper, paper towels, two hand towels, and a small bottle of olive oil. They had over 20 knives but none of them were sharp and I worried I was going to cut myself every time I sliced an apple. There were no measuring cups and most of the cooking utensils were cheap plasticware that was likely free from takeout.
2) Doorknob to bunk room kept falling off.
3) There are no frills with the bedding. There was one pillow per bed only. There were two very thin extra blankets and the blankets on the beds were not inviting. There were no pillows on the couch or chairs.
4) A couple nightlights would be nice (not the ridiculous light on the stairs). The bunk room gets pretty dark but the only way to get it some light is to leave the door open and the hall light on. Funny enough, the closets in the bunk room have enough light to light a whole city block. So weird.
5) The dining room table has a tablecloth on it so if you have messy kids, it is filthy the first time they use it and then for the rest of the stay.
6) The internet didn't work when we arrived Friday and after a thorough troubleshooting, we called the emergency line. They said they would come the next day. They said 9am but never showed. We had asked a neighbor for their wireless so we used that instead and reached out again to the agency and told them we didn't need them to come anymore. Then, of course, they arrived in the middle of naptime and woke up my sleeping toddler.
7) The garbage disposal did not work. Even though we didn't put food down it (luckily), every time that we would run the dishwasher the sink would fill with water and small bits of food and the countertop would flood. We were able to stop it by plunging the sink.
8) Master bedroom has no window coverings so it is bright by 6am. This wasn't terrible for us but could be for some.
I'm sure some of these gripes sound petty but as someone who has stayed at many properties in the Mammoth area, I would never rent this unit again and would be hesitant to rent from the rental agency again.
