Disappointing
Positives:
1. Near to Saguaro National Park East and wonderful hiking trails.
2. Rental was very clean.
3. Kitchen better outfitted than most Vrbo homes we have stayed at; good working spaces but could have used another set of dishes.
5. Good water pressure.
6. Large laundry room with utility sink.
Cons:
1. Initially lacked hot water to upstairs shower as host had turned pump off to save motor from burning out. He turned it on for 20 hours a day and we had hot water during those hours.
2. Upstairs shower was tiny, something like 3 feet wide by 20-24 inches deep with water control fixture sticking out from longer wall, effectively making area less than 20-24 inches deep. That created a problem. I kept bumping into control lever and making water go cold or hot depending on direction I turned.
3. Downstairs shower was in soaking tub too deep for my 95 year old mother to get in and out of and she couldn’t climb the 17 steps to get to upstairs shower. She went w/o shower or bath 5 days until arranged for her to shower offsite.
4. Small upstairs “bedroom” had no closet. No dresser drawers in any bedroom.
5. Metal stairs to upstairs clanged, shook and rattled, waking up person in downstairs bedroom. I found them slippery and almost fell once when foot slipped but grabbed handrail in time.
6. Furniture in living/dining area uncomfortable, sparse and appeared cheap.
7. Unable to balance temperature. Either too cold in living area or too warm in bedroom.
