6/10 Satisfaisant

This house was underwhelming for the cost. Decent walkable location, but it is in need of a renovation deeper than just the surfaces. If this had been someone's home they were just renting for a couple weeks, or a handed-down family cottage you may have forgiven the "quirks", but it is a profit-driven business that requires investment and professional upkeep. The bathtub is not installed properly so it does not fully drain- there is a constant pool or water in the bottom the day after use. There is an extension cord running through a floor vent to plug in a window a/c unit, several wall switches have notes that say "do not touch", and the washing machine is plugged into an overhead light fixture with no bulb. The mattresses all need replacement. The photos of the outside landscaping are outdated, weeds cover the rock beds. Less easy to fix, the floorboards and stairs are extremely creaky. It is at a very busy 4-way stop intersection and the stop-and-go of cars, trucks and motorcycles is loud and constant, especially as it travels though the window a/c units propped in the open windows. As residents of Chicago neighborhoods we get city noises, but this is excessive. We have owned several 100 year old homes, this one needs a qualified contractor to bring it into this century, not more mismatched handman specials, power strips and coats of paint. For a 4,000 two week stay, the standards are higher.
