Major Issues: Cold, Uncomfortable, No Space for Unpacking anywhere, and shabby neighborhood.
Little space: I'll get right to it:The house was freezing throughout our extended 10 day stay in winter weather. (Lows in 20s.) Adjusting the thermostat was an ongoing battle with an invisible controller as it kept reverting to a shivery 67 degrees. Suggestion: take the controls OFF the thermostat and let guests be comfortable. These were cold, cloudy days with no sun warmth either. The house is not well insulated and does not warm up easily. Then it gets turned back to 67 and we're literally shivering as the house is just COLD. Shabby neighborhood, not evident in photos. Surrounded by houses in various stages of run-downness. Broken up sidewalks that are treacherous. Overall very undesirable neighborhood that made us very uncomfortable. Antique appliances. Literally. 1950s wall oven from Sears Kenmore, ancient dishwasher. No garbage disposal. Washer/dryer are decent. Kitchen had no dish rack, no dish soap, no sponges. I bought a dish drying mat for frequently used items like mugs and coffee pot. Reading lamps in bedrooms all battery operated, and not one was working. Had to buy batteries to have light besides overhead. NO place to unpack: 2 closets were jammed with storage spilling out. We had to buy hangers to squeeze in.No dressers. What little space there was had clutter like fake plants on them. Awful chemical plug in deodorizers all over. Toxic. Unplugged.Host demands paying guests do laundry for them. Host wants to communicate off VRBO.
