Good location, moderate accommodations

The locations is what we were really looking for so that was perfect and well worth our money. Unfortunately, the upkeep of the house itself and its features such as the DIY upgraded bathroom were poorly maintained which was a disappointment.

The TV that was movable on wheels did not stay on continually. Don't know if it was the wifi or TV. So that was annoying. Rental was clean.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Communication
Overall, the house was cute and the location was convenient. The outside porch was good, however, the yard was somewhat overgrown, My biggest issue was the total lack of communication with the host. When we arrived, we realized there was a window in the bathroom SHOWER with no window covering. Meaning anyone could see directly in the shower - neighbors, people walking down the street, etc. There was a total lack of privacy. I texted the host and was told the issue was being passed on to someone who could address it. No one ever came, nor did they respond to my 2 other requests for help. We ended up taping a pillow case over the window so we could shower. For this reason, I would not recommend this property. There were also no window coverings in the dining room or the back door in the kitchen area. Their are neighbors close by, so it would have been helpful to have some privacy - especially at night if you are sitting in the kitchen or dining room. Even a window shade that you could pull down in the evenings would have been nice.
