We just completed a one week stay in this unit. And while the pictures and description are accurate, there are a number of issues that people should know about before renting this unit. We have stayed in many VRBO rentals and struggle to understand how this rental has so many 5 star ratings.
First of all this is a basement unit and it looks, feels, and smells like a basement unit. The unit has a very musty smell that confronts you each and every time you come into the unit. There is an air purifier running 24/7 which does nothing to alleviate the musty smell. The unit is described as ground level entry which is not 100% accurate...there are 2 small steps to navigate upon entering the unit which takes you into the shared laundry area and then to the actual unit door. The living room furniture is old and very uncomfortable. The arms on the furniture are so high that you barely see over them plus you sink down a long way when you sit in them. While sitting in the furniture we noticed our foot stuck to the floor and on further inspection it appears that it is the glue that is meant to bond the laminate flooring to the cement below. The glue was oozing out in at least two locations and even though we tried to wipe it up a couple of times it kept oozing out throughout our stay.
We believe this speaks to the dampness/mustiness of the unit as clearly the glue is not curing. Do not turn on the dishwasher if intend to watch TV or have a conversation as it is extremely loud, and old. Beware that there is zero sound insulation between the unit and upstairs, you hear every single footstep as well as the TV from upstairs. The footsteps are made even worse by the fact that the people upstairs wear hard soled footwear. Plus, the floors in the upstairs home squeak so you hear that as well. The bathroom. For starters, it is very small. There is absolutely no grab bar to use when entering or exiting the tub, and the tub is extremely slippery. There is a rubber bathmat to put down, however when we went to put that in the tub it was full of hair. The shower head is about as cheap as one can buy with very little pressure. While the bed was comfortable it is very high to get in and out of especially if you are a shorter person. We struggled to keep the unit warm even though we had fantastic weather during our stay. We could not get Netflix and this was not resolved during our stay, Jason did however provide a small gift card for the inconvenience.Cannot recommend
