Not ready for guests. Needs work.
The first thing that was troubling was that upon our arrival we encountered a set of steep stone steps with a railing that was extremely short to the point where one had to bend over to use it. It was not safe, especially for children or older persons. When we reached to door, the entrance was very run down looking. There was a sign on the door that requested shoe removal, which is a reasonable thing to ask, however, the carpet was not at all clean and had several large stains throughput the unit. The living room was fine, and furnished with comfortable chairs, a sofa and a working TV. A nearby nook had a desk but no pens, pencils or paper were to be found. The ceilings in the unit are extremely low because it is a basement apartment. The kitchen was big enough to handle one person comfortably. The toaster was old and rusted and looked like it should have been disposed of. Very few amenities were found such as coffee, soaps, etc. The temperature was comfortable. Except for the two bedrooms at the front of the house, the windows were close to the ceiling. The mattresses were not comfortable, being on the hard side. Mine was actually slanted down on one end. Probably the most uncomfortable place in the unit was the bathroom. The ceiling was almost head level and having no window made it feel really claustrophobic. The shower was so small that I’m sure it would be difficult to raise your arms or move around for a man. The exhaust fan worked intermittently. There was a bath mat on the floor that looked questionable with regard to cleanliness. On the ceiling and walls, large pieces of paint were peeling off, covering the area with chips that could easily fall on the floor. The guest towels looked old and marked and felt very rough and scratchy, almost like they had been washed and line dried. I feel bad about giving such a poor review but in my opinion, improvements definitely need to be made before accepting guests in the future. On a more positive note, the area is beautiful and surrounded by lovely homes in the area. The town of Newton is definitely within walking distance and is delightful. It’s filled with parks, shops and restaurants.
