A Quirky Spot in a Great Location

"The Narrows" describes the property - narrow! The home is the 2nd and 3rd floors of a duplex, with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths along with kitchen laundry and outside deck on 1st (2nd) floor and two bedrooms with 1 bath on the 2nd (3rd) floor. At time of renting, the description didn't specify the house layout. The 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor are the desirable rooms to stay in, but they share a bathroom which we didn't realize. The bedroom in the front of the property is much nicer as it has an outside deck with a view of the ocean and a king sized bed. The 2nd bedroom in the back is a queen with a sliding door that opens up to a screened in back deck, which we didn't use as we found it a bit dank and dirty. We had issues with water taking forever to get hot in that top floor bathroom. We let the owner know and he was very responsive but we opted not to have him come over to fix it during our stay. The 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor - one is a room with a bunk bed and the other a single bed frame with a trundle bed. Both rooms are rather dark and featureless - really only meant for sleeping. Kitchen was well equipped - we made a large breakfast one morning we were there and found everything we needed. Overall - not a luxurious experience as we just found the property to be a bit tired and not well maintained - sliding doors sticking/off their hinges, dust and grit on most outside surfaces, broken bed frame (we fixed) but certainly adequate for the wedding we attended nearby.
