Great location, but needs some freshening up
Great location in the Village District, near NC State, and easy to get downtown. Quiet, with no traffic or other noise. Nice neighborhood to walk with old and new homes and a small park close by. The family room and kitchen are large enough. The bathrooms are small as you'd expect. The 2 bedrooms are separated (more privacy). We didn't bring dogs, but it looked like the place would work well for dogs.
The floors looked clean, but bare feet became black on the bottom. The toilets had paper bands to show they were cleaned yet one toilet had pee in the water. Besides that, the older house was clean enough.
The furniture is tired, and the 4 chairs spread across the bedrooms and dining table are uncomfortable and creaky. The lights in every room are dim making it tough to read or use the bathroom mirror. We moved the one bright floor lamp to the table for playing cards.
The front porch could use a couple of chairs (the porch swing is oddly high up). The listing says the front yard is landscaped, but it's just grass/weeds. The driveway needs gravel so you don't track in dirt resulting in the dirty floors.
Overall, it was a good stay, but the place really could use some freshening up.
