The rental experience was disappointing for several reasons. Firstly, the listing's mention of "street and alley parking" was misleading, as advertising "free parking" implied designated parking for the rental, which was not the case. The neighborhood was noisy, with the house situated near a busy city street, resulting in constant disturbance, especially at night. The cleanliness was subpar, with unswept stairs, leftover items from previous renters, and an unpleasant smoke odor, either from previous occupants or neighbors. The sleeping arrangements were inadequate; although the house was advertised to sleep seven, using the sofa bed and trundle required inconveniently moving and rearranging furniture. Additionally, the house was unbearably hot during our summertime visit, particularly upstairs, and adjusting the thermostat and closing vents did not alleviate the discomfort, leading to a terrible night's sleep. Privacy was also an issue, as the upstairs bathroom had a window in the shower, exposing users to passersby in the alley, which could easily be fixed with proper window coverings. Due to these issues, we left after one night of a four-night stay. While I don't expect a refund, I want to warn others that this rental was uncomfortable and unenjoyable. Save your money and book a hotel instead.
