By far the worst property we've ever rented. I hope this review helps save others from going through the horrible experience our family had to endure...
The property is loud. Insanely loud. The upstairs unit is rented separately and the noise levels are intolerable. When the upstairs tenants walk it shakes the entire house! You can hear every single footstep. The paper-thin floorboards (built in 1917) creak and rattle at unbearably loud levels, waking us up in the mornings and keeping us up late at night (often until 1am or later). Our 8 year old son, who is a very deep sleeper, was constantly awoken by the racket upstairs.
Additionally, the upstairs unit obviously attracts people who want to party. Forget about the "low noise levels after 10pm", "no parties" and "no smoking" rules. This is a place where anything goes. We were even treated to a late-night karaoke party one evening. Yeah, that was fun.
There were two different groups of tenants who rented the upstairs unit during our stay and both had large groups of people drinking and smoking, yelling, singing.... basically having a great time at our family's expense. I complained multiple times to the hosts but nothing changed. We even resorted to banging on the ceiling with a broom handle! The whole experience was ridiculous. It got so bad I had to threaten to call the police to break up one of the parties.
Bottom line: Stay away. This unit is totally unusable when there are tenants upstairs. Save your money (we paid over 2 grand) and stay at the Motel 6 down the street. You'll be much happier there!
