Overall, the condo was comfortable, nicely furnished, and in a quiet area. There is sufficient privacy from the downstairs master suite and the two bedrooms/bath on the second floor so that one never feels crowded. The place is light and airy with a lovely deck off of the living space.
If one is looking for a maneuverable, gourmet kitchen, this kitchen is less than ideal. The kitchen layout is tight - think tight, like a small square tight - whereby it is challenging to have two individuals in the kitchen at the same time. When the dishwasher door is open, it is near impossible to reach cupboards on that side of the kitchen. When the fridge door is open, no one can walk into or out of the kitchen. These are minor issues, really; but worth being aware of if you plan on having a large group wanting to cook extensively. Worth being aware of.
Cleanliness is where the property failed. I am being generous with a two star rating. There is a difference between tidy and clean. The condo was tidy. Examples include:
*when flipping the top over on the game table top in the living room, there were crumbs, pieces of food, and dirt underneath. * the kitchen drawers and cupboards had quite a bit of leftovers in them. Yes, that happens in a kitchen; but, it seems none of the cabinets or drawers have had even a cursory cleaning in some time.
* in the larger bedroom on the second floor, I could literally write my name in the layer of dust that was across the headboard. The clock on the side table was just as dusty.
* in the same bedroom, there was an interesting white splotch on the head board and also on the side of the bedside table. I dare not fathom what that was
* the refrigerator was empty upon arrival; but there was certainly plenty of leftovers in the form of crumbs, pieces of food, stains etc in the fridge drawers and on the shelves
* and, likely the worst discovery, was found when opening the closet in the master bedroom to find bedsheets, blankets, mattress pad, and pillows on the closet floor or clumped in various states of disarray on closet shelves. The linens were in such a state of chaos that my immediate thought was that the linens were dirty and had not been washed/removed from the previous guest's stay.
During a pandemic, when many rental units have committed to more stringent cleaning, I was extremely disappointed. I do have pictures of many of the items described above. I highly recommend a deep cleaning and a new cleaning service.
