We read reviews prior to booking, and the cleanliness of the house was mentioned. This is important to us. However, this house in not clean! The oven looked like it had years of grime inside, the refrigerator was dirty with old food, the ventilation grilles were covered in dirt wiht dust balls in front of them. The front yard was poorly maintained - the weeds must have been 2 feet high. Noise from the lower level travels right through the ductwork. Not well inslutated for a 2 unit building. The price is a bargain, and the full kitchen and laundry is a bonus, but otherwise this would not be a place we would choose again.
