Lots of bandaids put on desperately needed repairs
1/5 The house was dusty. The windows didn't open, and when you tried to open the window in the front bedroom it fell inwards. The place wreaked of febreeze because of this. There were holes and cracks in the majority of the walls with shoddy paint jobs over it. Everything was so, so dusty. There were barely any plates/utensils/cups. The bed in the front bedroom was so way too soft and the one in the second bedroom was way too hard. The plus side was the washer and dryer—that was nice to have. The outdoor couch on the front porch wasn't useable. Unsure about the back porch, we never spent time out there. There were barely any hangers. The third room being used as an at-home workout space smelled like sweat, we never really went into it other than to find some extra bedding. The couch and chair in the living room were gross and very old. We barely spent any time in the home so it got the job done. But if we were spending more time there, we would have probably tried to get our money back. There's one neighbor who blasts the base on their car so loudly every night that it shakes the walls for a half hour. Last but certainly not least, we killed a handful of roaches.
