Has potential, but not there yet
We stayed with my elderly uncle and aunt while our own house nearby was being renovated. Upon arrival, the bougainvillea in the listing photos were dead, the lawn full of weeds, and the neighborhood less than ideal.
Check-in was fine. The entry closet doors were off their track, the kitchen not large enough to be functional. The place overall just had a dingy, dirty, unkept vibe.
One of the appealing features of the property was the little en-suite studio on the ground for our uncle and his wife. That room felt more like a storage room. Extra side tables, lamps, etc that just made the room uncomfortable to be in.
We spent an hour trying to sort out the remotes. They that had dead batteries and not located in the room with the tv they operated. To make it more fun, the remote brand didn’t match the tv brand in most cases. Then we lost cable and none of the TVs worked.
Bedding was sparse. The sheets and blanket were too small for the bed and super thin.
We didn’t use any of the outdoor space. I get it, leaves fall from the oak-we have the same at our house. But the front yard furniture was dirty, grass overgrown with weeds. Random solar lights all over.
Location is really why we stayed there being that it was close to our own house. We only stayed two nights instead of the 5 night we rented. Made dinners at our own house. And sat in our own back yard.
