Nice enough, but....
This is a nice recently remodeled property. Bathrooms and kitchen had new fixtures, floors and sinks/toilets. Engineered hardwood floors throughout. There were large screen tv's throughout the house and the basement area is a nice rec room where the other bedrooms are located.
there were a couple of issues.
1. The ice maker did not work. One of the owner's partners came over and checked it out but wasn't able to get it fixed before we left. Not a show stopper.
2. The living room ceiling fan ran all the time because the remote couldn't be found. Not a show stopper.
There is/was one undisclosed issue that we were not made aware of prior to arrival or at rental time. The owner advised us upon arrival that there were "noise monitors" located in the house. He indicated the quiet time was from 10PM-ish to 7AM-ish. Not a real problem for us, but he advised the "noise monitors" were there in case there were any complaints from the neighbors. By the time we found out about this it was too late to change. Our problem with that is any device that can be used to "monitor" noise can also be used to record it. Missouri is what is known as a "one party consent" state, meaning only one party can grant consent to record, so the owner, technically, could have recorded all the conversations, etc., that occurred in the house. That does raise some privacy issue concerns since we had a reasonable expectation of privacy as temporary tenants. This should have been disclosed.
