The Good: common areas are nice, well-maintained and comfortable. Living room, dining room, and kitchen all feel up-to-date and were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. TV was great. The beds were comfortable. The back yard is HUGE!
The Bad: not super dog-friendly. Dogs are not allowed on any furniture. Back yard does not connect to the house. Rule to take shoes off in the house. Living room very dark - no overhead light, just lamps. Dining table only seats two.
The bedrooms: not clean and very dark. One bedroom was overcrowded with furniture and one side didn't have a lamp -- just a candle. The other lamp was missing a bulb. The other bedroom only has one nightstand -- definitely needs two (and lamp was missing bulb).
The bathroom: tight, dirty, not well maintained. Splatter on the walls around the sink. Junky repair jobs. Old, mismatched towels. Found a random pill on the floor. They've made some improvements to the tub, but nice shower curtain on one side and a weird beach one on the inside. Very mismatched -- as is the entire decor of the house. The house decor is so random. It seems like the owners went to Goodwill and just pulled random items: lobsters next to wine bottles next to lions and windmills. Cushions with broken zippers. Mismatched hangers.
The Ugly: the musty smell. Had to wash all our clothes. Can't control the neighbors, but did not enjoy the polka music all evening and in the morning.
