The property managers were wonderful and check in was easy. I would recommend adding to the list of things to bring, dish soap as none was provided. The AC worked perfect. The bed & furniture was comfortable. The washing machine door was broke & couldnt be opened. Although on our 3rd day we had a surprise visit from management and lowes to deliver a new one without any prior notice. As it turns out, it was the wrong washer and they had to take it back, so still no washer. It wasn't a huge deal to us, because we had enough clothes and things to last throughout our stay. The tub and sinks were clogged full of hair that my husband had to clean out so that we could shower and brush our teeth, etc. Wallpaper was peeling off the walls up the stairs. There is rust all up and down the refrigerator. The bottom drawer on the stove is broken and hanging out. The kitchen faucet handle was loose and just spun around, so it was hard to get the right temperature of water. There really wasn't any place to store food other than the counter. The lamp in the master bedroom was loose, so that it did seem to be a potential hazard. We had a problem with the wifi, & after calling the management company and the cable company, I realized that the modem and router that needed to be reset is in the west unit. We are in the east. Luckily we were friendly with the people in the other unit, and they were nice enough to reset it for us so that the tv and wifi would work, but if noone else was in that unit or if you were not friendly with them, you would have a real problem, as there is no way to re-set it from the East side unit.
My biggest complaint was privacy. I was aware that it was a duplex, but I guess I didn't realize how bad it would be. There was construction going on behind us, so from 8 am on it was loud, and that isn't exactly a nice view. Since the back door in the kitchen had no curtains, anyone could see inside. Sharing a deck was also hard. Either side could walk over and look in the other's unit if they wanted to. The walls were so thin that you could hear everything that was said, even in a normal tone of voice. Upstairs it sounded like they were in the same room as us. This was supposed to be a couples getaway for us, but it didn't turn out that way. Between the construction, shared deck, thin walls, and lack of blinds downstairs, it was not what I had hoped for. I won't stay here again. Sorry, just not as nice as I thought it would be.
