Kevin

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Very nice house in quiet neighborhood. Spacious and homey. Nice only need your clothes and food to make it a home. Very nice open park at end of road. Walked our dogs there every day. Decent backyard area. Nice new washer and dryer. Nostalgic 50 year old record collection added to old home town ambience.

Tired, dark property & inconvenient location
A disappointing rental for us. Dark, and few windows actually looking out. Old furnishings, appliances & dishware. Didn't see any smoke alarms, and several outlets were not secured in the wall. The advertised private outdoor area was tiny and unkempt. Neighborhood was rundown & inconvenient to most of the area's attractions, including the downtown. Host was attentive, the unit was clean, and there was a decent bed, but we wouldn't go back there.
