This house is a work in process...
First impressions are incredibly important and the first impression was not good. There was a old wooden console in the driveway along with a rusting washing machine or dryer and a pile of stuff stacked against the side of the house. The outside appearance of the house needs some work. The initial impression was so off putting to the other couple who were going to stay with us that they went and got a hotel. When you entered the house the smell of something moldy/rotting was pervasive (traced it back to the mop head in the closet), the fronts of the air conditioners were covered with brown fuzzy stuff as was the bathroom fan (I cleaned them). If you took a shower the tub would fill up and drain VERY slowly. The kitchen did not have coffee cups although the host claimed there were some. There was only a few paper towels left on the roll, only four sets of silverware, some plastic forks and no baking sheet. We normally cook when we stay in a house, but that would have been a challenge. We had a lot of trouble finding the bar of soap and we did not find any shampoo. The house is very sparsely furnished with only one bedside table, and no lights other than the ceiling lights. Many of the shades had broken slats. The house was clean, but the smell from the mop head was impossible to miss. It's clear that the owners are working on the house, but it is not yet ready for prime time.
