Bill C.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This house was a total disappointment.
It started when we pulled up and saw the patched, mismatched siding. The next issue is we thought the windows all needed cleaning. What we soon realized that the seals in almost all windows had failed. Because of these failures you could not see out the windows. Plus, you wanted to keep the window shades closed to cover the extensive scale build-up on the windows. The sliding doors have to be forced to open and close, most of the screen doors wouldn’t work either. While the cleaning crew does the surface cleaning, the whole house needs a deep cleaning. The tops of the mop board were filthy, the jet areas in the tub have black mold. We spent our first couple of hours buying cleaning supplies and cleaning. In this split tri-level there are multiple issues. First off, you have to go downstairs from the Master bedroom, level three, to use the bathroom on level two. Rather dangerous in the middle of the night. The next issue had to do with heating three levels. We stayed in Winter; level three was a sauna and the bedrooms on level one were freezers. The kitchen is a place where old kitchen sets go to die. In a drawer of 15 knives, only one could hacks it way through a lime. There were 20 pots and pans, but try to find a matching lid. The light over the stove was out. Who puts a single fluorescent light over the kitchen sink? Tackiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. As we say in the west about an abused horse, “This house has been rode hard and put away wet.”
