First the pros:
The house is clean. Mattresses are comfortable. Listing is accurate and everything works. Neighborhood is safe, and not noisy. Close to the stadiums - short Lyft ride or 30-minute walk.
We did not get check-in information for the house 12 hours ahead of time as expected, but the owners did allow us to drop our luggage earlier than check-in time, which we GREATLY appreciated.
The cons:
The house itself needs work. Loose and rotting out floorboards is the primary issue. In addition, there is NOTHING extra in the house. The only furniture in the bedrooms is the bed, there is one small towel rack for a hand towel in the bathroom. There are no hooks, nowhere to hang towels. There were a total of 4 (very flat) pillows in the house, so after one night we went to Walmart and bought 4 more pillows and cases and a bath mat, as there was nothing to step out of the shower onto. We left those items there, so hopefully they will be there for the next renters.
The location is good if you have a car. We were attempting to do that trip without one and found that impossible - our fault, not the house’s, but wanted to mention that in case you’re thinking of trying.
All in all, the house was clean and serviceable, but a couple hundred dollars invested in towel bars, nightstands, lamps, a rug or two, and nailing down some floorboards would make a big difference.
