Few Sandwiches Short of a Picnic
This is an interesting VRBO. On the one hand, the location is excellent being right across from the lake and in close walking distance to shops and restaurants. It's also recently renovated. However, there are issues. First, the exterior of the property screams deferred maintenance. Decaying crab apples were left all over the lawn and exterior stairwell, peeling exterior paint gave the entrance a "projects" look, a broken downstairs window, and a gutter that leaked onto your head as you entered the main floor front door. On the inside, you can tell the bare minimum was done to make sure the property looked good on the surface. Yet if you look closely there are again problems. In one area the new plastic wood floorboard has a large gap. In another, you notice that there was no HVAC system installed and instead on cold Seattle winter nights, you're relying on multiple cheap small space heaters installed into the walls that can struggle to keep up. The kitchen island is new, but the trim facing the lake is already falling off. Then there's the fact that we rented the whole house, which was a good price, but didn't find out until we got there that half of the house is downstairs through a separate entrance in the back rear of the home. This meant that since this was winter, the downstairs was too big a pain in the neck to practically use. In the final analysis, would we stay there again? The reality is the location is good enough that if there was nothing else available we would
