Issues not shown in the listing
The house is a pretty, Victorian style, like the pictures show. Spacious for what we needed. Nice outdoor lot. Bedding, towels, and the property seemed generally clean; however, there were a few points about the property that were not shown in the pictures. There were little red/brown ants on the kitchen counter, a spider on one of the bed pillows, and a cockroach in the kitchen sink. There were multiple places where the paint on wood was peeling, the wooden porch was weak and had a hole at the top of the stairs, the upholstery on much of the furniture appeared soiled, the kitchen sink had a "dip" in it which created standing water and a brown spot, and the window at the top of the back bedroom door appeared that it was about to fall out of its frame. The bathroom shower was rickety and unpleasant to use. The property seems to be in need of some general maintenance and touch-ups to the interior. It has the potential to be very nice if the above items are corrected.

Diamond a little rough
The house is a Victorian gem that needs some TLC. The ceiling tiles in kitchen are falling off. Bathroom has peeling paint and broken doorknob. Curtains faded and windows covered with vinyl making house dark. When we arrived with two dogs we found the yard uncut, trash strewn around , the patio furniture molding, barbecue grill with grease covered aluminum foil covering grates. The rental just needs to be updated and yard needs serious maintenance.
