It was a nice house for space in the bedrooms but there was not good space to socialize. The two couches were kind of small and uncomfortable and would have rather have room to sit and talk. There are 4 bedrooms and we often went into bed to relax because of space. The kitchen would benefit from a small island of some sort to add counter space too. The utensils for cooking were fall apart as well so could use a refresh. The kitchen trashcan was broken as well which wasn’t an issue for us but could be for others.
Cons: Needs a good cleaning (floors were filthy - visibly brown-colored when wiped). Not only smelled sour/off-putting in some rooms, but I question whether our sheets were even laundered in the bedroom we slept in (smelled of sweat). Perhaps it was the pillows? I did not remove the pillowcase to observe. Pros: The house provided ample room, appliances functioned well, plenty of plates, glasses and utensils, etc.
