Positives
• It’s a charming 1900’s house
• Bathrooms were very nicely updated as was the kitchen. Flooring was very well done, including on the decks.
• The backyard was spacious, gorgeous, and very well fenced.
• Parkin on the back/side accommodated four cars.
• The mudroom was fantastic and the three bikes supplied looked to be in great shape.
• Bed linens and towels were ample, fresh, and first-rate.
• We had no problem with street noise. The location could not have been more centrally located.
Negatives
• Lower A/C unit didn’t work on move-in, meaning we had to move family reunion activities to my cousin’s house for three days, and two other cousins were pretty miserable for the first few nights sleeping downstairs.
• The management company never responded to a text regarding A/C, and VRBO was down the next day. Once we connected with the owners, however, they had a maintenance company on the site very quickly. I think the owne’s are looking for a new management company.
• No icemaker in the Frig.
• For as nice as the kitchen was, the cooking utensils left a bit to be desired (serving dishes were fine).
• The “house book” was a bit skimpy. I’d have loved to see more of a write-up about the house’s history and maybe a few guides for emergency’s (water cut-off, fuse-panel, etc.)
In general, I’d give this house a 5/5. My negatives are nits compared to how awesome the house is, and I have confidence in the owners to take my comments at face value.
