4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication

Unit is on a street more commercial than residential.Barking dogs are next door. Access to Hill Lake is .10 of a mile away, across yards, a low wooden bridge & down an overgrown path. No kayaks in sight, only 1 overturned rowboat & paddleboat. fire pit is overgrown & needs TLC. Outdoor area’s cushions are dirty; furniture rusting & flaking. Indoor dining offers 4 stools & a cafe table. Living area with Smart TV & couch is the best asset. The wi-fi works great there, but spotty in bedrooms. Recliner is broken & could not be un-reclined. Mattresses are okay; king sized bed squeaks a lot. Generally, kitchen works. We had an issue with coffee maker & it was replaced in 2 days.The cabinets don’t all close & there’s not a knife there that can cut an onion. Pots & pans are old. Biggest issue is the plumbing. Tiny shower & floor buckles up & down. There are signs to not put anything down toilets but toilet paper & to only use cold water in the washing machine. DONE! Still, something happened. When we got home, brown sludge was in the bathtub & shower stall; water over the floors in both bathrooms. Toilets would not flush. A handyman came, but could do nothing. A plumbing company came out next day & got everything working. I asked for a service to clean the disgusting sludge; could not come for two days. I did a cold water wash & water bubbled up in the kitchen sink. We decided that we were not staying. I asked for some consideration on the price given the plumbing event, but nada!
