2/10 Terrible

Run down and unkempt
We knew we were booking an old house and did not expect it to be perfect. This house, however, was beyond imperfect. The photos in the listing do NOT represent the actual state of this house.
We arrived to find the driveway filled with garbage bags (8-10) and cans overflowing with more garbage and boxes. The host removed the bags the next day, but the cans remained blocking the front brick walkway, which was overgrown with weeds anyway and not navigable.
One of the two porch lights is missing, and the nice-looking outer door in the photos was off its hinges and thrown aside onto the patio area, which was also strewn with odd junk. The patio table was there, but some chairs were broken and cushions missing. The garden area had a junky table and the whole thing was overgrown, so we spent no time there.
Inside, the carpets are all stained, and the wood floors have holes in some spots. The kitchen is tired - I could share a long list but I'll just say that the silverware drawer was filthy, with bits of food inside. There was only a used worn-out sponge and no dishwasher pods.
The host's mail and some empty boxes were scattered in the diningroom, along with a highchair and a broken standing lamp. Some other lamps in the bedrooms were broken as well.
Before our family group arrived, my husband and I raced around to make the place more presentable.
On the third floor, the bathroom and bedroom doors do not close. I could say more, but I'm out of characters.
Renter beware!
