Disliked: Cleanliness
House has potential
Our experience was vry Rocky in the beginning. The property was not ready to be rented- it had been severely misused by prior tenants- it was extremely, extremely dirty- filthy-, smelled of cat urine, cigarettes- dirt everywhere (dishes dirty, inside pantry cabinets, ceiling fans dripping of dust…)- it was shocking.
BUT- , the owner (who lives out of state) was super helpful with communication- she bought several air purifiers I requested and had them Sent New Year’s Eve, she also put me in touch with a cleaning service (on New Year’s Eve) and they were able to come out twice- (spent 15 hours cleaning…). After the house was cleaned- and we had a few air purifiers to sleep with in our room- we were able to feel more comfortable in the house. The renter also refunded us a night bc of the hassle and time it took (we had to be out of the house while it was cleaned…)
Once the house undergoes some repairs and is THOROUGHLY cleaned (and a one particular mattress changed out) - the house has a lot of potential! A lot of bedroom and plenty of space for a family. The owner was always helpful… and THIS is what made the difference. If she had been unresponsive- we would have had to leave and rent hotel rooms- but she did her best… and for that reason - abs for its potential- I give 3 stars
In current condition- 1 star
Some repairs done (dishwasher, front door handle, etc ) and a whole house deep clean / mini makeover- it could be a 5 star!! Close to Monroeville business area, expo and easy to get to downtown Pittsburgh - (yet in a quiet suburban area)
