Good location but needs a deep cleaning
The house is in a great location. It's quiet and yet there are grocery stores and restaurants nearby. The rocking chairs on the porch were inviting and we loved the tree swing. Unfortunately, those are the only positives about this property. This house hasn’t been deep cleaned in a very long time. The oven was filthy! The kitchen sponges were sour. We couldn’t find any dishcloths/towels in the kitchen. We eventually found some hand towels in the hall closet near the bedrooms. When we needed potholders on the quick, we found one small, very used pot holder. Also, the kitchen has very little counter space and what counter space is available had displays of dishes, bowls and knickknacks. The displays of personal items/decor are throughout the house. This leaves little room for guests’ belongings. We were constantly moving items so we could have room for our stuff. Unfortunately, I broke a bowl. The drapes were very dirty. When we tried to close them for privacy, they felt grimy. When we rolled the TV cart out to attach a fire stick, the floor underneath the cart hadn’t been cleaned for some time because there was a square patch of dirt. And worst of all, the odor. It wasn’t a musty or a damp, or an “old” odor. It was putrid. I will add though that the bad smell was not in the entire house. The game room and the kitchen had a slight odor but it wasn’t offensive. In fact, we eventually became “nose blind” to it so we were able to enjoy the game room. It was the bedroom side of the house that had a nasty smell. We were hoping to get used to it but that didn’t happen. We decided not to contact the hostess with our concerns. While we could’ve requested more sponges and possibly someone to clean the oven and remove the knickknacks, it was the overall cleanliness of the house that was our concern. Deep cleaning can’t be done while the house is occupied. I would recommend another cleaning company. We were charged a cleaning fee
