Plywood countertops and a makeshift shower
The location and cleanliness of this property is great. However, this property was not professionally renovated and has safety issues that should be addressed immediately. Also, the property smells of insecticide throughout. The smell was present the whole two days we were there.
The countertops in the kitchen look like blonde wood in the photos, but if you could zoom in you would see that they are unfinished plywood. There is an empty space on the makeshift sink counter that is covered by a carefully positioned kitchen towel.
The shower is unsafe. It’s a drain in the floor with a wooden grate over it. The grate is not secured and wobbles. There is nothing to hold on to, nowhere to set down your shampoo. The curtain hangs from the ceiling and immediately clings to the body of the person attempting to shower. The shower needs walls or a structure and the grate needs to be removed or secured.
There is one wobbly 2x4 serving as a partial handrail on the stairs. Some stretches of stairs have no handrail. (I understand that handrails are not important/necessary for everyone, but I am mentioning it in case a future renter needs the info. This was not a main consideration in my rating).
I admire the DIY spirit of the owner, but a professional contractor should be brought in to finish the job.
